CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Golden is the Acting Director of the STD Control Program for Public Health - Seattle & King County.  He conducts operational research focusing on the epidemiology, prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections (STI), including HIV.  Recent and ongoing projects have investigated new approaches to partner notification as a means to control bacterial STI, the integration of mathematical modeling into public health disease control activities, STI in men who have sex with men, and the evaluation of new diagnostic tests for STI.  Opportunities for fellows with an interest in public health include both long-term research projects, and public health practicums completed as part of the requirements for an MPH degree.
