Conference Theme: HIV Prevention and Support for Families in Rural Areas.

The NIMH Annual International Research Conference on the Role of Families in Preventing and Adapting to HIV/AIDS is a three day conference. Academic researchers come together with HIV service providers to discuss the most effective approaches to working with families that are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. On the first day, Community Day, community providers and academic researchers address the challenges of responding to the social context of HIV risk and enhancing the role of families in preventing and treating HIV/AIDS. On the second two days, the latest scientific findings from HIV/AIDS family-based studies will be presented in symposia, workshops, and a poster session.

Conference objectives focus on:

  • Family processes associated with the epidemiology of AIDS and high-risk behaviors of family members
  • Family configuration and functioning as predictors of adaptation at different stages of HIV/AIDS
  • Stress and coping strategies mobilized by families infected and affected by HIV and AIDS
  • Family issues of multiple losses, death, bereavement, child custody and permanency planning
  • Models for mental health services for families with a stigmatizing, chronic disease
  • Strategies for analyzing family data

Please note: The organizers are eager to have international participation in this conference. Please share this Call for Abstracts with colleagues in other countries. Thank you for your assistance.
