Dissemination: Making Results Known

At the Population Council–cosponsored “Panel Discussion on Girls and HIV/AIDS,” part of the 51st Annual UN Commission on the Status of Women held in February, Council researcher Kelly Hallman delivered a talk on “Identifying and Reaching the Girls Most Vulnerable to HIV” to an audience of 250 policymakers, program implementers, and donors.

In December, Council scientist Gary Hunnicutt delivered the keynote address at the New York Microscopical Society’s winter banquet, where he spoke on “Microscopic techniques to understand sperm function.” In May, he was one of 70 invitees at the 2nd International Meeting on Septin Biology in Monte Verità, Switzerland.

Horizons research director Julie Pulerwitz co-authored “Gender, sexual behavior, and vulnerability among young people,” a chapter in Promoting Young People’s Sexual Health: International Perspectives, a collection of key writings celebrating the work of the UK’s Department for International Development–funded research program, Safe Passages to Adulthood.

In the latter part of 2006, Horizons researchers published seven articles in six peer-reviewed journals: AIDS and Behavior, AIDS Care, AIDS Education and Prevention, Health and Human Rights, Health Policy and Planning, and Reproductive Health Matters.
