What Do We Mean By “Evidence” in Evidence-Based HIV Prevention?

A panel discussion at the United States Conference on AIDS (USCA) in Palm Springs, CA Thursday, November 8, 2007

Experts from research and program evaluation explored the range of types of evidence used to determine whether HIV prevention interventions and programs really "work."  They discussed how evidence is gathered and assessed, from community-based programs to scientifically-designed randomized, controlled trials, and how these decisions affect choices about what programs to implement and scale-up.
