Designing HIV/AIDS Intervention Studies:
An Operations Research Handbook

Designing HIV/AIDS Intervention Studies: An Operations Research Handbook is a resource for HIV/AIDS researchers that can be used in workshops and courses on research design and proposal development. Organized chapter-by-chapter like a proposal, it gives users the tools to develop and write a detailed operations research (OR) proposal.

By reviewing many key concepts and methods essential for conducting HIV/AIDS field research studies, the handbook also helps program administrators and health policymakers understand how OR works and how to use research findings to improve HIV/AIDS service delivery.

Andrew A. Fisher, Sc.D., was formerly a senior associate at the Population Council and director of the Horizons Program, a global HIV/AIDS operations research project implemented by the Population Council.

James R. Foreit, Dr.P.H., is a senior associate at the Population Council. He works on the Council's FRONTIERS Program, which conducts operations research globally on reproductive health topics.
