Project Description
The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STDs (NCHADS) in Cambodia has created databases of longitudinal HIV/AIDS, STI and behavioral data, opportunistic infections data, antiretroviral therapy and voluntary HIV counseling and testing behaviors. Cambodia seeks to integrate these databases to better facilitate longitudinal tracking and aggregate reporting, however a dearth of professionals skilled in data management, analysis and interpretation challenges this progress. The UCLA Department of Epidemiology and the Cambodian University of Health Sciences (UHS) propose to train a cohort of health professionals in the management and use of large, repeated-measures datasets to prepare and enable these professionals to better identify critical health trends, epidemiologic shifts and use their knowledge to inform HIV/AIDS policies and program improvements.
