Employing HIV Peer Research Associates: Are We Providing Enough Support?

Lecture Event

Audience: General Public

Wednesday, December 4, 2013, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Location: Chateau Granville, Burrard Room 2nd Floor 1100 Granville St. Vancouver BC

Employing people living with HIV as peer research associates is gaining popularity today as Community Based Organizations and researchers attempt to integrate the greater involvement of people living with HIV more meaningfully into new research projects. By openly discussing and including the input of peer workers to develop industry standards of support provision we hope to offer a valuable resource for researchers, community organizations, and others who seek to employ people living with HIV for research projects.
