Behavioral Science

​HANC facilitates the trans-NIH institute, cross-network Behavioral Science Working Group (BSWG). The BSWG’s overarching goal is to ensure that the DAIDS clinical trials networks benefit from state-of-the-science methods and procedures that optimize adherence to product and risk reduction counseling and minimize the risk of confounding user and product failures. Further, the BSWG endeavors to maximize fiscal and scientific resources, reduce redundancies, improve cross-network communication and collaboration, and ensure that the best quality behavioral science is integrated into clinical trials.

​Risk Assessment & Neurocognitive Assessment Focus Group Meeting Reports Now Available!

 

In April 2011, the BSWG hosted two focus groups addressing key behavioral issues affecting HIV/AIDS clinical trials.  The meetings objectives were to determine the feasibility of creating a consensus of recommendations to guide the field in future clinical trial research.

​BSWG F2F Meeting

The 2011 BSWG Face-to-Face meeting, entitled, "Behavioral Science Research Anchoring HIV/AIDS Biomedical Research Trials: Evolving opportunities for behavioral and social science research in network trials" was held in Miami Beach, Florida.

The meeting addressed efficacy dilution in the HIV/AIDS clinical trials. Attendees included investigators from the ACTG, CDC, ATN, HPTN, HVTN, IMPAACT, INSIGHT, MHRP, MTN, FHI, SCHARP, SDAC and NIH staff.  

The focus of the meeting was to discuss the critical importance of incorporating behavioral science in HIV/AIDS biomedical research trials and the evolving opportunities for such research. 

The final report and recommendations are available in the BSWG report library.
