PROGRAM Behavioral and Social Science Research Simultaneously with designing and conducting laboratory and clinical trials to ensure that Carraguard® is safe and efficacious, the Population Council has studied how to make a microbicide people are likely to actually use and how best to protect and support the women who participate in clinical trials. In the process, Council public health and social science researchers have addressed issues important to the entire microbicides field, including exploring the acceptability of microbicides; setting an ethical standard for a rigorous informed consent process; and helping to ensure that women who became HIV-positive during the Phase 3 trial receive appropriate care and support.
