Abstract：
:The successful recruitment of African-Americans for AIDS/HIV interventions is essential to reducing HIV transmission and the spread of AIDS among this population. However, many high risk groups in the African-American community are reluctant to participate in AIDS/HIV interventions due to factors such as poverty, and cultural and religious values. This paper discusses the basis of these factors and presents a theoretical framework that holds some promise for designing and evaluating AIDS/HIV intervention recruitment strategies and a pilot study implementing this strategy is presented. The results emphasize the importance of targeting and empowering the African-American family in recruitment strategies, as opposed to specific subgroups of high risk individuals. Recruitment messages, which were channeled through a credible source and which stress the role of participants in contributing to the well-being of their families and communities, were most successful.
