Social Ecological Model. Borrowing from Broffenbrenner’s model, the social ecological model used for health promotion is a multi-level theory that captures the individual, interpersonal, institutional, community, and public policy determinants of health behaviors (CDC, 2011; XxXxxxx et al., 1988). This framework provides a lens into understanding the environmental influences on health decisions (XxXxxxx et al., 1988). This study employs the social ecological model to guide understanding of the institutional, interpersonal, and individual level factors that contribute to sexual decision-making. Institutional Interpersonal Individual Institutional factors include social institutions with organizational characteristics as well as both formal and informal rules and regulations (XxXxxxx et al., 1988). In this study, institutional level factors include church, school, and college because all are factors that college students are exposed to throughout development and in their current lives. Interpersonal factors include social networks and social support systems. Interpersonal level factors in this study include family and peers because both are primary sources of influence throughout development and during college. Individual level factors include personal characteristics such as attitudes, knowledge, beliefs, behavior, and self-concept as well as the individual’s developmental history (XxXxxxx et al., 1988). In this study the outcome variable, sexual decision-making, exists on the individual level of the social ecological model. The social ecological model has been used in public health research as a framework for understanding the factors that contribute to sexual health behaviors among emerging adult populations (Xxxxx et al., 2009; Xxxxxxx, 1984; XxXxxxx et al., 1989; Xxxxxxx, 2001). Studies examining factors in sexual decision-making have employed individual level theories to understand behavioral determinants of sexual decision- making (Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, 2011). However, no recent qualitative studies have utilized the social ecological model to understand sexual decision-making in college students. The social ecological model’s use in public health research informs multi-level sexual health promotion interventions targeted at emerging adults, which include health communication, self-efficacy and HIV prevention interventions (XxXxxxx et al., 2000; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2009; Xxxxxxx, 1984; XxXxxxx et al., 1989). For this reason, the social ecological model is a useful framework in this...

Social Ecological Model. Recruitment of LIFT My HAART Program Participants Participants of the Lift My HAART program will be identified in three different ways and invited to participate in the program: 1. Christian leaders who express interest in understanding more about religion and HAART during their interviews and community meetings 2. Utilizing CHAZ’s knowledge of local Christian leaders who are identified as promising participants 3. Christian leaders who are expressing an interest in participating in the program During Phase I, researchers will also be looking to identify Christian leaders, through community based informational meetings and during the interviews and surveys, who are interested in the idea of being a part of this initiative and willing to join the team as facilitators to their peers during Phase II. Those considered for peer facilitator positions must not be actively speaking out against HAART adherence unless they indicate that they no longer wish to do so. Increasing the number of Christian leaders who are provided with IEC and counseling skills to help HIV-positive pregnant women utilize HAART as an expression of faith, increases the number of women exposed to the message. LIFT My HAART Program Activities LIFT My HAART program activities will start during year 2 of the proposal and can be seen below in figure 1.6.

Social Ecological Model. The Social Ecological Model postulates that changes in individual outcomes, such as weight status, are influence by individual level factors such as age and gender and by interactions with the familial, social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts in which individuals live(26, 27). The model proposed places concentric layers of influence including individual, family, community, organization, government, industry, and societal domains and is frequently in childhood obesity research and prevention efforts(40, 41). In the case of a child, the ecological niche includes the family and the school, which are in turn embedded in larger social contexts including the community and society at large. In addition to these larger contexts, characteristics particular to the child interact with familial and societal characteristics to influence development. Other literature has hypothesized that the weight status of children under five is influenced by mother’s BMI and age, parent’s education, number of siblings, neighborhood income, and child’s birth weight(28, 42-49).
