DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In both developing and developed countries, alcohol use has been shown to cause significant harm to the physical, psychological and social health of individuals, families and communities. Latin America and the Caribbean have a high burden of harm attributable to alcohol use. The proposed application seeks support to organize an international conference Alcohol & HIV in Latin America: Prevention and Treatment to be held in Cali, Colombia (March, 2008). The focus of this conference has been developed as an outgrowth of the international Alcohol and HIV/AIDS meeting held in 2007 which helped to identify alcohol and HIV/AIDS-related issues of most concern in Latin America. Following the Conference symposium, a special Research Workshop will be conducted to promote collaborative activities and facilitate the development of research protocols for prevention and treatment strategies among individuals with alcohol problems, who are at risk for, or infected, with HIV. The Conference will be conducted as a part of the Comprehensive Meeting on AIDS, which has been taking place in Cali since 1995, under the sponsorship of the Corporacion de Lucha Contra el SIDA, an organization dedicated to the support of programs and projects for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Over 600 health care professionals including social workers, psychologists, medical doctors, dentists, nurses, behavioral researchers, and medical students, have attended this conference each year. Both national and international experts in alcohol and HIV related issues will be invited to present keynote sessions of major interest with an emphasis on Alcohol/AIDS: Twin Epidemics and Risk Behavior and Medical Consequences . The main objectives of the international conference and research workshop Alcohol & HIV in Latin America are to: 1) provide information related to alcohol use and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment; and 2) enhance research capacity and promote collaboration between scientists in developed and developing countries for implementing research studies to further prevention, health promotion and treatment strategies to address medical consequences of alcohol abuse in the context of HIV/AIDS. It is our hope that this conference will become an annual forum to stimulate research capacity and strengthen prevention and therapeutic efforts. Relevance to Public Health: The Alcohol & HIV in Latin America international conference will increase awareness of prevention and treatment issues among persons with alcohol problems who are at risk for, or are infected with HIV.

描述（由申请人提供）：在发展中国家和发达国家中，饮酒已被证明会对个人，家庭和社区的身体，心理和社会健康造成重大伤害。拉丁美洲和加勒比海造成的危害负担很大。拟议的申请寻求支持在拉丁美洲组织国际饮酒和艾滋病毒：预防和治疗将在哥伦比亚的卡利举行（2008年3月）。这次会议的重点是作为2007年国际酒精和艾滋病毒/艾滋病会议的产物发展，该会议有助于确定拉丁美洲最关心的酒精和艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关问题。会议研讨会结束后，将举办一项特殊的研究研讨会，以促进协作活动，并促进制定酒精问题患者的预防和治疗策略的研究方案，这些人面临艾滋病毒或感染HIV的风险或感染。该会议将作为自1995年以来在卡利举行的综合艾滋病会议的一部分举行，该组织是在lucha contra el Sida的赞助下，该组织致力于支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和治疗计划的计划和项目。每年有600多名医疗保健专业人员，包括社会工作者，心理学家，医生，牙医，护士，行为研究人员和医学生，每年都参加了这次会议。国家和国际酒精与艾滋病毒相关问题的专家都将邀请人们介绍主要兴趣的主题演讲，重点是酒精/艾滋病：双流行病和风险行为和医疗后果。拉丁美洲国际会议和研究研讨会的主要目标是：1）提供与酒精使用以及预防和治疗的信息； 2）提高研究能力并促进发达国家和发展中国家的科学家之间的合作，以实施研究研究，以进一步预防，健康促进和治疗策略，以解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病背景下酒精滥用的医疗后果。我们希望这次会议将成为刺激研究能力并加强预防和治疗努力的年度论坛。与公共卫生有关：拉丁美洲国际会议的酒精和艾滋病毒将提高对患有艾滋病毒或感染艾滋病毒风险或感染艾滋病毒的酒精问题的预防和治疗问题的认识。
