Dealing with missing data in HIV prevention trials

描述(由申请者提供)：艾滋病毒/艾滋病几十年来一直是一种国际危机。所有目前的研究都表明，短期内不太可能有任何药物治愈，预防是我们可以采用的最好策略。然而，尽管几十年来，预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病一直是国际筹资的目标和主要重点，但我们仍然看到，全球每年新增艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例数量急剧增加。显然，需要更多的关注和研究，以确保我们尽可能使用最好的预防技术。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，我的目标是开发新的方法，以加强艾滋病毒预防干预。这一应用程序支持国家精神卫生研究所的使命，为不完整的数据提供方法学，这将被用来帮助制定有效的干预措施，并通过提供培训来定位这名候选人，使其能够参与未来的研究，以改进艾滋病毒预防。 与公共卫生相关：艾滋病毒/艾滋病几十年来一直是一场国际危机。所有目前的研究都表明，短期内不太可能有任何药物治愈，预防是我们可以采用的最好策略。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，我的目标是开发新的方法，以加强艾滋病毒预防干预，特别是处理不完整数据的方法。

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.
