AIDS research centre carrying out:
- basic social and behavioral research aimed at identifying the determinants of HIV-related risk in different vulnerable populations. Several of these projects combine social/behavioral with biomedical/laboratory research in innovative ways
- intervention research focusing either on evaluating existing prevention interventions, or on developing and subsequently evaluating new interventions
- policy research and modeling-based research that examines the cost-effectiveness of interventions and their impact on the HIV/AIDS pandemic, as well as the public health decision-making process
- international research that seeks to translate lessons learned from behavioral and intervention research in the United States to locales outside the United States, and to apply the experience with HIV prevention research in other countries to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Connecticut.
