DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Conference on Interactions between Poverty and HIV/AIDS. This applicant is requesting funding to provide partial support for a conference on the interactions between poverty and HIV/AIDS. The conference will be held at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in late 2005. The conference is being organized by the Panel on Population and Poverty of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population. Funds will be used to bring six African researchers to participate in the conference, selected through an open international call for papers. The conference will focus on causal connections between HIV/AIDS and poverty that run in both directions. Poverty may have a direct impact on behaviors underlying the incidence of HIV/AIDS as well as behaviors mediating the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. At the same time, the disability, medical expenses, and mortality resulting from the disease may push some households into poverty. The conference will give particular attention to the use of household survey data, especially longitudinal survey data, to analyze the dynamics of HIV/AIDS and poverty. A number of longitudinal data collection projects with content related to both HIV/AIDS and socioeconomic status have recently begun to produce the kind of data that is necessary to develop a clear picture of these dynamics. While one goal of the conference will be highlighting research using longitudinal household survey data, the conference organizers will also welcome submissions by researchers using other methodologies, such as qualitative research. In addition to bringing together researchers on the cutting edge of research in this area, another goal of the conference will be to increase awareness of data sets that are available to researchers and to increase capacity in the collection and analysis of household survey data. The conference will include training workshops targeted at junior African researchers. The workshops will focus on the statistical analysis of survey data, discussion of available data sets, and discussion of appropriate research designs for analyzing the causal connections between HIV/AIDS and poverty, and the impact of programs targeted at these connections.

描述（由申请人提供）：贫困与艾滋病毒/艾滋病之间的相互作用会议。该申请人要求提供资金，以便为一次关于贫穷与艾滋病毒/艾滋病之间相互作用的会议提供部分支助。会议将于2005年底在南非开普敦大学举行。这次会议是由国际人口问题科学研究联合会人口与贫穷问题小组组织的。通过公开的国际论文征集活动选出的六名非洲研究人员将参加会议。 会议将重点讨论艾滋病毒/艾滋病与贫穷之间双向的因果关系。贫困可能对导致艾滋病毒/艾滋病发病的行为以及预防和治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病的行为产生直接影响。与此同时，疾病造成的残疾、医疗费用和死亡率可能使一些家庭陷入贫困。会议将特别注意利用住户调查数据，特别是纵向调查数据，分析艾滋病毒/艾滋病和贫穷的动态。一些纵向数据收集项目的内容涉及艾滋病毒/艾滋病和社会经济状况，最近已开始产生明确了解这些动态所需的数据。会议的目标之一是突出利用纵向住户调查数据进行的研究，会议组织者也欢迎研究人员利用其他方法，如定性研究提交材料。除了将这一领域前沿研究人员聚集在一起外，会议的另一个目标是提高对研究人员现有数据集的认识，并提高收集和分析住户调查数据的能力。会议将包括针对非洲青年研究人员的培训讲习班。研讨会将重点关注调查数据的统计分析、可用数据集的讨论以及用于分析艾滋病毒/艾滋病与贫困之间因果关系的适当研究设计的讨论，以及针对这些联系的项目的影响。
