Description
A stimulating discussion and debate about the nature of community research and intervention.

As news headlines report staggering numbers of people infected with HIV or AIDS across the globe and as stereotypes of typical AIDS patients become less and less specific to particular sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds, the AIDS pandemic shows little sign of relenting.

This book articulates how the social and behavioral sciences can respond to HIV/AIDS. It is written for all who have a stake in AIDS research, including those involved in public health, community health education, urban planning, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of science.
  • Uncover alternative perspectives on gathering knowledge about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the inclusion of community collaboration in interventions
  • Learn how social and behavioral scientists are responding to new challenges in developing scientific inquiry and corresponding interventions around participatory, community-based, and community-focused methods
  • See how interventions are increasingly targeting peer groups, social networks, support systems, and community norms
  • Learn how community interventions draw on local resources and are respectful of sociocultural circumstances and traditions
