Community-Based Research

We conduct research on issues affecting the communities we serve.

About Us

CBR study findings are used to identify needs for new services, improve existing services, and highlight trends in HIV and broader health areas. These findings are presented at local, statewide, national, and international levels. CBR also serves as a resource to other organizations conducting community-based research.

Principles guiding our program include:

community collaboration,
responsiveness to community needs,
innovation, and
rigorous scientific methods.

Our Research

We study social and psychological factors that influence the health and health behaviors of people living with HIV and populations at high risk of HIV infection.

Topics explored in our research include:
sexual risk behavior;
sexual communication;
HIV/AIDS treatment education;
Medicare policy;
substance use;
social and cultural factors shaping HIV risk 
health disparities; and
social stigma and discrimination.
Funding sources for the program include the National Institutes of Health and other governmental and private agencies. Recent collaborative research partners include: UCLA, RAND Corporation, California State University Dominguez Hills; Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, and AIDS Alabama. We are currently conducting several research projects in various stages of preparation, data collection, analysis, and publication.
