Developing causal inference methods to evaluate and leverage spillover effects through social Interactions for designing improved HIV prevention interventions

Project Summary/Abstract The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop innovative statistical methods for designing more effective HIV treatment and prevention interventions, along with more effective implementation strategies to deliver them. Due to HIV secondary transmission and social influence of preventive behaviors, the intervention received by one individual can have an effect (or spill over) on the risk for HIV infection, risk behaviors, retention in care and treatment adherence of other individuals.
