Inter-disciplinary behavioral health research including behavioral health theories and behavioral interventions related to risk and preventive behaviors:

​

1. HIV related risk behaviors and multi-dimensional risk factors: Sexual risk behaviors and substance use among at risk populations (e.g. male sexually transmitted disease patients, men who have sex with men, clients of female sex workers and transgender women)

​

2. Theory-based behavioral interventions: Applying health behavioral theories to promote preventive behaviors (e.g., HIV testing, condom use) and biomedical HIV/STD intervention (e.g. male circumcision, pre-exposure prophylaxis, HPV vaccination, treatment as prevention) among at risk populations

 

Members from the Centre for Health Behaviours Research have been awarded over 35 grants on HIV & Sexual Health and have published a collective 149 articles related to HIV and/or sexual health in international peer-reviewed journals.
