摘要
目标:HIV 分子流行病学(HIV ME)是一种旨在改进 HIV 研究、监测以及集群检测和响应的工具。HIV ME 是美国 "终结 HIV 流行 "计划的核心支柱,但也面临着一些挑战和利益相关者的批评。我们试图评估用户体验,以确定当前对 HIV ME 的需求:方法:HIV ME 的用户(包括研究人员和公共卫生从业人员)参与了结构化调查。通过有关 HIV ME 的开放式问题对需求进行评估。采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行分析;对结果的一致性进行半定量评估:在 90 位可能的 HIV-ME 最终用户中,有 57 位完成了调查(回复率 = 63%),其中包括从事研究(n = 29)和公共卫生(n = 28)的用户。受访者指出了当前改善艾滋病毒 ME 的当务之急、挑战和战略。当务之急包括病毒特征描述、HIV 热点识别和有针对性的 HIV 干预措施。挑战包括技术问题、伦理问题和实施困难。改进 HIV ME 的战略包括改进数据获取和分析、加强实施指导和资源,以及促进社区参与和支持。研究人员和公共卫生从业人员优先考虑了不同的当务之急,但同样强调了 HIV ME 的伦理问题:用户确定的当务之急强调了 HIV ME 的必要性,而挑战则突出了需要克服的障碍,包括用户群体共同强调的伦理问题。概述的战略为克服这些挑战提供了路线图。从用户经验中汲取的这些见解,为制定在研究、监测、群集检测和响应中应用艾滋病毒 ME 的伦理准则提供了宝贵的机会。
User experience with HIV molecular epidemiology in research, surveillance, and cluster detection and response: a needs assessment.
Objective: HIV molecular epidemiology (HIV ME) is a tool that aims to improve HIV research, surveillance, and cluster detection and response. HIV ME is a core pillar of the U.S. initiative to End the HIV Epidemic but faces some challenges and criticisms from stakeholders. We sought to assess user experience to identify the current needs for HIV ME.
Methods: Users of HIV ME, including researchers and public health practitioners, were engaged via a structured survey. Needs were assessed via open-ended questions about HIV ME. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis; the concordance of results was assessed semi-quantitatively.
Results: Of 90 possible HIV-ME end-users, 57 completed the survey (response rate = 63%), which included users engaged in research (n = 29) and public health (n = 28). Respondents identified current imperatives, challenges, and strategies to improve HIV ME. Imperatives included characterization of the virus, identification of HIV hotspots, and tailoring of HIV interventions. Challenges encompassed technological issues, ethical concerns, and implementation difficulties. Strategies to improve HIV ME involved improving data access and analysis, enhancing implementation guidance and resources, and fostering community engagement and support. Researchers and public health practitioners prioritized different imperatives, but similarly emphasized the ethical concerns with HIV ME.
Conclusion: The imperatives identified by users underscore the necessity of HIV ME, while the challenges highlight the hurdles to be overcome, including ethical concerns which emerged as a shared emphasis across user groups. The strategies outlined offer a roadmap for overcoming these challenges. These insights, drawn from user experience, present a valuable opportunity to inform the development of guidelines for the ethical application of HIV ME in research, surveillance, and cluster detection and response.
