| dc.description.abstract | The overall goal of the Youth & STD/HIV Prevention Project is to enable community action on STD & HIV prevention for Winnipeg youth, through the development of community-based research addressing determinants of risk and protective factors for STD infection in high-risk community networks. An integrated approach to prevention of HIV and other infectious diseases, modelled by project workers in the 1990s at POWER (Prostitutes and Other Women for Equal Rights) and Village Clinic, has increasingly involved research techniques to inform service delivery, with the goal of turning acquired knowledge into action. | en_US |
