Rapid Response Service
The OHTN offers a Rapid Response Service for AIDS service organizations seeking quick access to research evidence to inform their decision-making, service delivery or advocacy.
Upon request, we will conduct searches of the scientific literature and contact experts in the appropriate fields to locate key information resources. These may include:
- Systematic reviews and existing summaries of systematic reviews of the research literature
- Primary research evidence (i.e., individual research studies) that relates to the requested topic
From the findings, we will develop a summary or fact sheet that relates to the requested topic. We will also assess the quality of the systematic reviews to help you judge the reliability of the findings.
If you are an AIDS service organization and would like to request a rapid response on an HIV-related topic, see our
Guidelines section.
