The HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) project created a database of over 5000 HIV prevention studies. This resource aids in analyzing effective strategies for reducing HIV transmission behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) project in 1996.
  • The project aimed to systematically review and analyze HIV prevention research effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To accumulate HIV prevention research studies.
  • To analyze the effectiveness of interventions in reducing sexual and drug-related risk behaviors for HIV transmission.
  • To establish a cumulative database of HIV prevention research.

Main Methods:

  • Developed standardized guidelines for systematic reviews.
  • Conducted systematic searches for relevant studies.
  • Characterized selected studies and analyzed effectiveness data.

  • Established a cumulative database of over 5000 reports by June 1998.

    • Main Results:

    • As of June 1998, the database included 4068 reports meeting PRS scope criteria.
    • 586 reports contained intervention outcome data; 276 were reviewed.
    • Of reviewed reports, 81% measured HIV-related outcomes, and 56% used rigorous study designs.

    Conclusions:

    • The PRS database is a valuable resource for accessing and integrating HIV prevention research literature.
    • CDC is committed to updating the database, producing systematic reviews, and disseminating findings.
    • The goal is to facilitate the use of science-based research in HIV prevention.
