Bridging the gap between science and practice: insight to researchers from practitioners.
Five policy advocates and practitioners provide recommendations to researchers to make research data more usable, accessible, and applicable for the field of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among injecting and other drug users. Translating research into usable information will facilitate its use within political and policy discussions. When researcher and practitioners truly work together in a common enterprise, the result will be powerful HIV prevention programs that will save lives.
