Abstract Text:
This is a conference grant awarded by the Yale MacMillan Center's Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund to support the coordination of a series of events and research activities to address current knowledge and identify research questions related to the well-being of people with HIV or at risk for HIV and affected by humanitarian crises.
The goals of this project are to:
- Bring together Yale and external research leaders and relevant stakeholders to discuss existing evidence and knowledge gaps regarding determinants of HIV prevalence and access to care among conflict-affected populations;
- Identify key considerations in conducting research involving refugees and displaced populations such as ethical issues, health risks and safety, methodological barriers, and partnership strategies;
- Understand the key concepts, measures, and tools of implementation research to support adoption, adaptation, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based HIV/AIDS interventions in resource-limited, conflict-affected settings; and
- Identify directions for future research and facilitation of multidisciplinary connections and research collaborations.
