RESEARCH

The primary focus of my research has been in HIV prevention and behavioral epidemiology, both in the United States and abroad. I also have conducted numerous research projects in the areas of substance abuse epidemiology, smoking, aging, mental health, and housing as health care. Although a great deal of my research has been conducted among gay men, I also have worked with other populations at high risk of HIV infection and expect to expand on this work.

SERVICE

I am a member of the National Institutes of Health study section titled Behavioral and Social Science Approaches to Preventing HIV/AIDS.

I sit on the following journal editorial boards:  Social Aspects of AIDS (1990-); AIDS Education and Prevention  (1992--), AIDS Care (1995-) and review papers for approximately 20 other peer reviewed journals. 

I serve on the Persad Board, which is a Pittsburgh-based community-based organization whose mission is to meet the health needs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Communities.
