NASTAD, the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, undertook a qualitative study focusing on HIV/AIDS among Latino gay men in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Quimera worked with NASTAD to develop a video report, following the same structure as the text-based report, in which the three researchers use a roundtable format to discuss the project, the issues, and elaborate on key findings, challenges and constraints. The eight chapters of the video report can be found on NASTAD’s youtube channel.

Speaking to a camera, or speaking with an interviewer while being filmed, is not always a relaxing experience. This video report is a great example of how the roundtable format worked particularly well, where team members seemed comfortable with the camera, focused on each other, and discussed the material rather than any one individual worrying about being “in front of the camera”.

This video report was the first of its kind funded by the Office of AIDS Research at the National Institutes of Health, and one of the first funded across all NIH.

The text report can be found at NASTAD’s website.
