Description

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites interdisciplinary formative research projects attempting to explore HIV/AIDS risk avoidance decision-making among adolescents. Additional research is needed on HIV prevention interventions developed within social and gender constructs of adolescents that consider neurocognitive developmental stage and neurocognitive variables as they exist within those social and gender constructs. Prevention strategies that consider social, cultural, and gender constructs in combination with neurological and cognitive maturity may offer the best opportunity for prevention strategies to reduce HIV transmission in adolescents.
