Policy Core

公共政策确定了艾滋病毒预防、识别和治疗的背景。为 例如，国家关于针具交换的政策影响到注射毒品的传播率， 用户和政策的姓名报告影响艾滋病毒检测行为的个人有关的一个 可能会泄露机密在国家和国际两级，为艾滋病毒防治工作划拨的资金 护理影响到接受有效治疗和能够延长寿命的人数， 更健康的生活政策核心确定公共政策对艾滋病毒识别的影响， 在地方、州、国家和国际环境中预防和治疗艾滋病毒，并提供 为公共卫生和政府领导人提供必要的证据基础， 明智的决策。政策核心的具体目标是： 1.科学：确定和促进关于环境影响的决定因素和后果的研究 艾滋病毒的识别，预防和治疗艾滋病毒疾病的公共政策， 国内和国际环境; 2.科学：运用政策研究方法，如成本效益分析（CEA）， 地理信息系统方法（CIS），与中心的关键项目有关的项目 科学主题; 3.网络：召集决策者、艾滋病毒调查人员和社区利益攸关方， 确定和解决关键的艾滋病毒政策问题，并确定所需的数据类型， 这些问题; 4.能力建设：提高我们的研究伙伴应用政策方法的技能 (e.g., CEA和GIS）的艾滋病毒项目，并提高我们社区的能力， 合作伙伴评估其预防方案; 5.能力建设：传播从干预和政策中得出的与政策有关的结论 以不同的形式向国内和国际观众提供研究项目。

Public policies set the context within which HIV prevention, identification and treatment occur. For example, state policies regarding needle exchange affect transmission rates among injecting drug users and policies on names reporting affect HIV testing behavior among individuals concerned with a potential breach in confidentiality. At the national and international levels, funding allocated for HIV care affects the numbers of individuals who receive effective treatment and can live prolonged and healthier lives. The Policy Core determines the consequences of public policies on HIV identification, prevention and treatment of HIV in local, state, national and international settings and provides this information to provide public health and governmental leaders with the evidence base necessary for well-informed policy-making. The specific aims of the Policy Core are: 1. Science: Identifying and promoting research on the determinants and consequences of public policies on HIV identification, prevention, and treatment of HIV disease, in both domestic and international settings; 2. Science: Applying policy research methods, such as cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) and geographic information systems approaches (CIS), to projects related to the Center's key scientific themes; 3. Networking: Convening policy makers, HIV investigators, and community stakeholders to identify and address critical HIV policy issues and identify the types of data needed to inform such issues; 4. Capacity Building: Enhancing the skill of our research partners to apply policy methods (e.g., CEA and GIS) to their HIV projects and to increasing the ability of our community partners to evaluate their prevention programs; and, 5. Capacity Building: Disseminating policy-relevant findings from intervention and policy research projects in different formats to domestic and international audiences.
