Dealing with missing data in HIV prevention trials

描述（由申请人提供）：几十年来，艾滋病毒/艾滋病一直是一个国际危机。目前所有的研究都表明，短期内不太可能有任何医学治疗方法，预防是我们可以采用的最佳策略。然而，尽管艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防几十年来一直是国际资助的目标和主要重点，我们仍然看到全球每年新发艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例的数量急剧增加。显然，需要更多的关注和研究，以确保我们正在使用尽可能最好的预防技术。我的长期目标是开发新的方法来推进临床和社区艾滋病行为研究。此外，我的目标是开发新方法，加强艾滋病毒预防干预。该应用程序通过为不完整的数据提供方法来支持国家心理健康研究所的使命，这将用于帮助开发有效的干预措施，并通过提供培训来定位该候选人，以从事未来的研究，以改善艾滋病毒预防。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): HIV/AIDS has been an international crisis for decades. All current research suggests that there is not likely to be any medical cure anytime soon, and that prevention is the best strategy that we can employ. However, notwithstanding that HIV/AIDS prevention has been the goal and primary focus of funding internationally for decades, we still see a sharp increase in the number of new HIV/AIDS cases across the globe annually. Clearly, there needs to be more focus and research dedicated to ensuring that we are using the best prevention techniques possible. My long term goal is to develop new methodologies for advancing clinical and community AIDS behavioral research. In addition, my aim is to develop new methods that will lead to enhanced HIV prevention interventions. This application supports the mission of the National Institute of Mental Health by providing methodologies for incomplete data, this will be used to help develop effective interventions and by providing training to position this candidate to engage in future research to improve the HIV prevention.
