Managing the risk of intimacy
It is well known that concerns about sexual risk tend to decline among people in intimate relationships where there is established commitment and trust. In the context of relationships at increased risk for HIV transmission, interactions involving disclosure and partner responsiveness are key to maintaining intimacy and physical safety. This paper explores concepts of risk and sexual intimacy articulated by a community sample of 30 people living …
Overlooked Threats to Respondent Driven Sampling Estimators
Using Participatory System Dynamics Modeling to Examine the Local HIV Test and Treatment Care Continuum in Order to Reduce Community Viral Load
Highlights Participatory system dynamics modeling helps improve the HIV service system to reduce the epidemic. We engaged local stakeholders to critique their HIV service system using system dynamics modeling. Participants showed enhanced communication and consensus about systems understanding and solutions
A qualitative analysis of peer recruitment pressures in respondent driven sampling
Translation of the Risk Avoidance Partnership (RAP) for Implementation in Outpatient Drug Treatment Clinics
Scientific literature increasingly calls for studies to translate evidence-based interventions into real-world contexts balancing fidelity to the original design and fit to the new setting. The Risk Avoidance Partnership (RAP) is a health promotion intervention originally designed to train active drug users to become Peer Health Advocates. A theoretically driven approach was used to adapt RAP to fit implementation in outpatient methadone treatmen…
Participant and Staff Experiences in a Peer-Delivered HIV Intervention with Injection Drug Users
We explore ethical issues faced by investigators as they conduct research as part of a peer-delivered HIV/AIDS risk reduction program for injection drug users (IDUs). Staff and participant experiences in peer-delivered interventions among IDUs have come under scrutiny by ethics researchers because of their potential to inadvertently and negatively impact participant rehabilitation due to continued engagement with drug-using networks during the co…
A question of quality
Social science researchers have long stressed the importance of a more publically relevant and accessible science. Nevertheless, significant barriers remain within the academy, such as processes for peer review, promotion, and awarding of degrees, which discourage the use of nontraditional dissemination techniques that support a more public ethnography. Concerns over scientific rigor, best practices, and methods for disseminating ethnographic res…
Issues of Power in Collaborative Research With Dignity Village
In this article, the author will utilize her fieldnotes and videotaped interviews to reconstruct and reflect on her experiences and some of the ethical dilemmas she faced as a community partner in participatory action research with a self-governed homeless encampment called Dignity Village. The author's yearlong facilitation utilized a democratic, collaborative, and inclusive process. Following the final stages of the research, an abrupt shift of…
