Evidence and Evaluation Working Group
The Evidence and Evaluation Working Group, a sub-group of the Prevention Research Network Advisory Committee, has been established to explore:
- What do we mean by "effective" HIV prevention?
- What forms of evidence and evaluative methods are most appropriate for assessing effectiveness?
- When is it most appropriate to employ randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology?
- How is effectiveness demonstrated for prevention strategies that do not fit the RCT model
- What kinds of evidence will be most useful for frontline work?
- What forms of evidence are granting agencies willing to recognize?
