SWG 8: Adolescent Health

摘要 青少年，无论是在美国还是在全球，都是受艾滋病毒影响的关键人群， 预防、治疗和治愈这一弱势群体的艾滋病毒。的主要目的 青少年健康科学工作组（SWG）是通过汇集 对解决青少年在艾滋病毒治疗中面临的独特问题感兴趣并有经验的调查人员， 治疗和预防，包括制定生物医学艾滋病毒预防方法， 护理和治疗，以及相关的行为和实验室科学。首先，我们将每月进行一次调查， 正在进行的工作组，为调查和发现创建同行网络和协作空间 有关青少年健康和艾滋病毒，这将使科学指导和获得CFAR资源， 包括行为科学、实施科学、发展核心和电子健康SWG。这 将有效地促进研究人员开发新的研究计划和合作， 青少年健康和获得受训人员支助和资金（目标1）。第二，通过举办技能培训， 研讨会，我们将填补成员对青少年艾滋病毒研究的现有方法的知识空白，并将 研究人员需要及时和创新的方法来进行青少年研究。我们 多学科研讨会将包括与青少年医学，行为科学， 实施科学和实验室方法，并将建立新方法学方面机构专门知识 涉及青少年的艾滋病毒研究方法（目标2）。第三，我们将激发机构的兴趣， 通过邀请该领域的全球领导人作为访问学者， 在西雅图（目标3）。我们将向CFAR联盟伙伴发出参加所有活动的邀请， 以及比尔和梅林达·盖茨基金会等当地合作伙伴，以及我们的国际合作伙伴， 将有助于在青少年中传播战胜艾滋病毒的想法和方法， 全球和国内艾滋病毒研究的协同作用。 这些全面的活动将使我们的CFAR成员能够在青少年中开展强有力的研究。 艾滋病毒预防和治疗，采用跨学科方法和多机构合作。这 SWG将通过突出针对青少年的研究策略和主题来推进艾滋病毒科学， 目前正在开发的艾滋病毒研究人员和其他人; SWG研究人员将受益于多个 交流经验，互相学习。通过设计一个以青少年为重点的SWG， 健康，我们将确保CFAR研究人员有机会建立强有力的合作， 这一弱势群体，并促进通过一个以健康为重点的研究议程。我们独特 国内和全球艾滋病毒研究的优势将使我们能够将这两个领域的青少年研究联系起来 交流想法、战略和最佳做法。

Abstract Adolescents, both in the US and globally, are a key population affected by HIV, and novel research strategies are needed to prevent, treat, and potentially cure HIV in this vulnerable group. The primary purpose of the Adolescent Health Scientific Working Group (SWG) is to catalyze innovative research by bringing together investigators with interest and experience in addressing the unique issues facing adolescents in HIV treatment, cure, and prevention, including development of biomedical HIV prevention approaches, optimized models for care and treatment, and relevant behavioral and laboratory science. First, we will initiate a monthly research work-in-progress group, to create a peer network and collaborative space for investigation and discovery pertaining to adolescent health and HIV, which will enable scientific mentoring and access to CFAR resources, including the Behavioral Science, Implementation Science, and Developmental Cores, and eHealth SWG. This will efficiently facilitate investigators to develop novel research programs and collaborations pertaining to adolescent health and to access trainee support and funds (Aim 1). Second, by holding skill-building workshops, we will fill gaps in members' knowledge of current methods for adolescent HIV research, and link investigators to timely and innovative approaches to conducting research with adolescents. Our multidisciplinary workshops will incorporate topics related to adolescent medicine, behavioral science, implementation science, and laboratory methods, and will build institutional expertise in novel methodological approaches to HIV research involving adolescents (Aim 2). Third, we will stimulate institutional interest and enthusiasm for the topic of adolescent health and HIV by hosting global leaders in this field as visiting scholars in Seattle (Aim 3). We will disseminate invitations to participate in all activities to CFAR consortium partners, as well as local partners such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and to our international partners, which will enable circulation of ideas and approaches on defeating HIV among adolescents, creating relevant synergies for both global and domestic HIV research. These comprehensive activities will enable our CFAR members to develop robust research in adolescent HIV prevention and treatment, with cross-disciplinary approaches and multiple institutional collaborations. This SWG will advance HIV science by highlighting research strategies and topics specific to adolescents that are currently under development by HIV researchers and others; SWG researchers will benefit from multiple venues to share experiences and learn from one another. By designing a SWG that focuses on adolescent health, we will ensure that CFAR researchers have opportunities to establish strong collaborations to work with this vulnerable population and promote the adoption of an adolescent-focused research agenda. Our unique strengths in both domestic and global HIV research will allow us to connect adolescent research in both arenas to cross-pollinate ideas, strategies and best practices.
