title: Black populations, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and research: implications for nurses.
abstract: Knowledge that is generated from research is critical toward understanding the prevention, impact, and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). During the past several decades, the Black community has been disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Therefore, engaging their participation in HIV/AIDS research is necessary to understand the disease further and to develop strategies for nursing interventions. Many factors hinder Blacks from participating in HIV/AIDS research. This review provides information for nurses about problems related to recruitment and recommendations for recruiting Black participants for HIV/AIDS research.
