SRC researcher engages global communities in HIV research
Community-based research is a collaborative approach that actively includes groups of people who belong to a particular community or who have expertise in an area of community life to participate in a study as co-investigators or advisors. The Dalla Lana School of Public Health was an early adopter of this approach, particularly in HIV research, and continues to make great strides in the area.
In the HIV research context, community-based research seeks to involve people living with HIV or people at risk of HIV infection.
