EPI 549 / GH 563 HIV/STI Prevention Research Methods (3)
Mondays 12:00-2:50 during Spring quarter (SLN 14484 or 14070)
Instructor: Renee Haffron, rheffron@uw.edu
This course focuses on current research and implementation of HIV/STI prevention, including biomedical, behavioral, and public health interventions. Established interventions and novel prevention strategies currently under investigation will be covered. Central goals of the course are analyzing the strength of research evidence to support novel interventions, understanding key features of study design for HIV/STI prevention, and applying interventions that are most appropriate and feasible for specific settings and populations. Students gain an understanding of the current scope of the HIV/STI prevention agenda in research, public health and policy, and clinical practice. This course is designed for graduate students in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine and the School of Medicine, as well as graduate students in complementary fields, and upper-level undergraduates with a strong interest in HIV/STI prevention and instructor approval.
Quote from a previous MSW Student who took this class, “It was a great course for me and helped me ease into Epi and research without being overwhelmed. It would be great for MSW students doing the dual degree or those interested in health and research.”
