Description
The goal of this NIMH study (U19HD089875) is to improve self-management among high-risk youth living with HIV and those at risk for HIV infection through the identification, implementation, and evaluation of efficacious interventions.
There are two projects associated with this study here at WSU:
EPIS is an implementation science study that is examining the barriers and facilitators of effective implementation of evidence-based practices into HIV prevention and treatment.
The communication science study will use the Motivational Interviewing framework to examine the process of patient-provider communication during evidence-based practice interventions in HIV prevention and treatment.

Students will assist with tasks that are essential for the smooth running of a research trial, such as transcription, data entry, the preparation of data files, literature reviews, and related tasks (we provide all necessary training). Students who demonstrate an excellent work ethic, enthusiasm, and a high degree of competency are often moved into positions where they can have a higher profile role in the research process, as deemed appropriate and of interest, for example, students who are interested in interacting with participants and analyzing data can performs these tasks as part of a directed study, thesis, or independent research project.
