We are pleased to invite you to join us for a World AIDS DAY webinar titled Getting to Zero in the Black Community in the US: Preliminary Findings from the National Survey on HIV in the Black Community (NSHBC) to be held on December 15, 2016 at 3:00 pm (ET). After many months of careful strategic planning, the NSHBC was crafted, developed and implemented.

Background

National Survey on HIV in the Black Community

The goal of the NSHBC was to develop and administer a survey focused on the cultural, psychosocial, and structural factors that are driving the HIV epidemic amongst Black individuals in the United States. By focusing solely and comprehensively on Black individuals this survey allowed for a more nuanced understanding of the root causes of HIV within our target population. The new knowledge that will be created will better explain persistent disparities in the HIV epidemic in the US and directly inform interventions and policy change.

Discussion topics

• Review data from the survey
• Discuss plans for the first few papers
• Next steps

Speakers

• Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Harvard University
• Dr. Laura Bogart, RAND Corporation
• Dr. Alecia Mc Gregor, Tufts University   

Register now to join us live, Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 3:00 – 4:30 PM ET, for an in-depth discussion on the preliminary research findings from the NSHBC initiative.
