Background: Current HIV prevention tools, like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), do not adequately reach Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM) in the U.S., highlighting the need for innovative strategies. Game-based interventions for health promotion are emerging, but few are tailored for HIV prevention among LMSM. This study aimed to examine online game genre preferences among LMSM to inform the co-development of a culturally-tailored HIV prevention intervention, ensuring it resonates with this priority population.

Methods: LMSM online gamers (n=73) participated in a cross-sectional study from February 2022-August 2023 in Miami, Florida. A two-mode network was created using tie information across 13 game genres. The PrEP Cascade position scale (PrEP Pre-Contemplation, PrEP Contemplation, PrEParation, PrEP Action & Initiation, and PrEP Maintenance) was included as an attribute. An exponential random graph model examined whether LMSM in similar PrEP Cascade positions shared ties to game genres. Visualizations and analyses were conducted in R version 4.4.1.

Results: The network had 225 edges between LMSM and game genres, with a density of 0.237. On average, LMSM endorsed 3.1 genres, with action/adventure, first-person shooter, and strategy games being common. LMSM in the PrEParation stage endorsed more genres than those in the Pre-Contemplation stage (OR: 3.49; p=0.0328). LMSM with similar PrEP Cascade positions were more likely to share game genre ties (OR: 1.12; p<0.0001), suggesting PrEP status influences game genre preference.

Conclusion: Considering LMSM’s PrEP Cascade position, game genre characteristics should inform the development of interventions tailored to promote biomedical HIV prevention in this priority community.

les réseaux d'acteur de l'éducation inclusive, de l'établissement aux territoires apprenants

Abdoulaye GADIAGA

Université de Rouen, France

Ce projet de thèse a pour objet principal est d’étudier le dynamisme et les interactions en réseau des acteurs de l’éducation inclusive dans les territoires d’étude du PIA 3 100% IDT ; des territoires académiques à des territoires apprenants. Il participe des travaux des observatoires des territoires inclusifs de l’action 1 du PIA 3 100% IDT, dont l’objectif est de décrire et suivre de manière longitudinale notamment les dispositifs structurels et/ou organisationnels pour une inclusion pour tous dans les différents territoires (ville, REP+, péri urbain, rural en ce qui concerne plus particulièrement cette approche).

Cet article cherche plus précisément à identifier et à cartographier les différents réseaux d’acteurs des territoires apprenants depuis les établissements éducatifs (collèges, IME etc.) pour comprendre et analyser leurs relations structurelles. Une analyse préalable de l’interaction des structures institutionnelles (Education Nationale, médico-social et éducation populaire) est engagée dans la mesure où le fonctionnement de chaque organisation est lié au fonctionnement des autres ; d’où une approche qui s’appuie sur l’interactionnisme structural. Cette thèse a aussi pour objectif d’inscrire les relations entre acteurs dans des dynamiques territoriales pour envisager comment les territoires les affectent mais aussi comment elles font territoire voire territoire-apprenant. Les questionnements sur les stratégies territoriales et la fragmentation des territoires apprenants sont au cœur du questionnement.

Cet article recherche ainsi une analyse critique des organisations structurelles des acteurs de l'inclusion au prisme de leurs pratiques effectives et territorialisées. Elle vise à mettre au jour les dynamiques territoriales spécifiques des différents acteurs et institutions dans la poursuite d'une structuration et du renforcement de l'éducation inclusive des enfants en âge de scolarisation au collège. Il convient pour cela de décrire les dynamismes des réseaux d’acteurs inscrits dans les territoires d’étude depuis les établissements scolaires de référence, lieu où se retrouvent tous les enfants de cette classe d'âge.

The Power of Place

Drew Mackie

Drew Mackie Associates, United Kingdom

I’m a free-lance consultant in netmapping and analysis based in Edinburgh, Scotland but working throughout the UK for government, corporate, charitable and community clients. I have almost 20 years experience using mapping and analysis tools, exploring the useful hints and insights that netmaps provide and testing them by action in the field.

This paper covers work in communities across the UK to create and analyse network maps of community activities, resources and leadership. These maps have typically been created as part of a wider study of local social and economic capital. They are not academic studies. They provided the hints and insights leading to actions to improve local connectivity and create social capital. Although they are place-based we are careful to advise clients to let the networks define themselves rather than being tied rigidly to geographic boundaries. Often two local actors will connect to each other through a third party that is not locally based.

Map examples will demonstrate the use of Kumu software in:

* Exploring the power of place in determining collaborative links in the craft sector in Ireland

* Establishing issues facing local communities through group storytelling to identify local actors

* Using ‘instant participatory maps’ to engage actors at events in Milton Keynes, York and London

* Comparing network position with skills and resources held to assess the capabilities of local organisations.

* Training local groups to understand and use the maps and to update their data to automatically update the map.
