Ongoing Research Support

NIH/NIDA 2R01 DA09832-11, Booth (PI), 7/15/95-6/30/12

Intervention to Reduce Injection Drug Use

The goal of this study is to assess the relative effectiveness of three intervention strategies in reducing HIV-related risk behavior and facilitating entrance into substance abuse treatment.

Role: PI

NIH/NIDA 5R01 DA017620-05, Booth (PI), 9/30/03-6/30/08

Interventions with HIV+ and HIV- IDUs in Ukraine

Role: PI

Reducing HIV/HCV Risks Comparing Two Interventions.
