Item A Review of the Literature on Faith-Based Organization's HIV/AIDs Care and Prevention Efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa(2005-05-01) Rojas, Zeida G.; Lurie, Sue; Urrutia-Rojas, XimenaRojas, Zeida G., A Review of the Literature on Faith-Based Organization’s HIV/AIDS Care and Prevention in Sub-Saharan Africa. Master of Public Health (Community Health), May 2005, 83 pp., 20 diagrams, bibliography, 10 titles. The thesis assesses the role of faith-based organizations (FBOs) involved in HIV/AIDS related care and prevention activities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Do FBOs have the ability to address the multi-faceted syndrome that HIV/AIDS brings to an individual, their family and community? Can FBOs be effective partners to carry out prevention and care initiatives? Faith-based organizations are generally overlooked as potential partners and leaders in the fight against HIV/AIDS. FBOs are often the only genuine nongovernmental organizations in many rural parts of poor countries, or at a minimum, they are the strongest and most influential. Due to their organizational networks, FBOs are able to mobilize people and resources, and to reach rural or isolated areas. Evidence of current FBO efforts demonstrates that FBOs have the ability to address the multifaceted effects of HIV/AIDS and can become indispensable partners for government health agencies and NGOs.Item Qualitative Analysis on HIV/AIDS Clinical Trial Recruitment Marketing Practices(2022-05) Dapoz, Anthony M., Jr.; Simecka, Jerry W.Recruitment continues to be one of the largest barriers to clinical trial success. Based on review of clinical trial marketing literature, there are no marketing industry standards established for recruitment of HIV/AIDS clinical trials. The purpose of this study was to begin finding optimal marketing recruitment strategies in HIV/AIDS clinical trials research. A literature review yielded 20 articles detailing recruitment marketing practices. A ClinicalTrials.gov search found 57 trials meeting inclusion criteria. Data extracted included recruitment strategies, original enrollment goals, estimated enrollment goals and actual enrollment goals. Regression analysis found no significant relationship between marketing strategies and recruitment rate.
