Population Council Research that makes a difference

Banner Photo: A workshop leader addresses a group of seated people

People living with HIV and AIDS are faced with a broad array of needs related not only to treatment of HIV, but also nutrition, psychosocial support, and prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections. Although reaching people living with HIV with these services is a global priority, questions on how best to deliver services in the most cost-effective manner remain unanswered. In addition, those affected by HIV, including caregivers and children of people living with HIV, and the communities in which they reside, have their own set of multifaceted needs that must be addressed.

Population Council focus

Recognizing that care, support, and treatment are interlinked, the Council takes a broad approach to ensuring that targeted, effective services reach  those in need. Council research includes studies on increasing access and adherence to antiretroviral therapy, exploring different models of caregiving, and supporting caregivers.

Population Council impact

What's New

  • The Interagency Gender Working Group has published a new synthesis of evidence of the effect of equitable gender initiatives on reproductive health outcomes. All three of the Population Council’s research programs are featured in this volume entitled Gender Perspectives Improve Reproductive Health Outcomes: New Evidence. "We are proud of the Council's contribution to this and other evidence bases linked to improved reproductive health results," says John Townsend, director of the Council's Reproductive Health program. (offsite link)
  • The first-ever compendium of best practices in reproductive health in Kenya was launched in Nairobi on 16 February 2010 by Kenya's Ministry of Health. Four of the eight case studies included were drawn from Population Council activities in Kenya. (more)
  • BMJ has announced the nominees for its prestigious annual award for "Getting Research into Practice." The Sexual Health and HIV Evidence into Practice (SHHEP) group—to which ABBA, a Population Council–led consortium, belongs—was nominated for successfully "advocating research findings to change the law in Ghana so that survivors of gender based and sexual violence are no longer forced to pay for their own medical tests to prove assault in court." Read more about this on page 6 of the linked PDF. (offsite link)
  • New statistics project more than five million fewer deaths from AIDS in 2030 than previously estimated. The Population Council's John Bongaarts and co-authors François Pelletier and Patrick Gerland address the cause and implications of the revised estimate in a recent article in The Lancet, "How many more AIDS deaths?"
