The use of epidemiologic and other data in selecting behavioral HIV prevention interventions for African American women.
We describe a "research to practice" method by which public health policymakers and HIV prevention service providers can integrate the findings of national surveillance with other sources of public health data. We suggest developing a comprehensive risk profile, based on multiple sources of data, to inform the selection and implementation of evidence- based behavioral interventions (EBIs) for African-American women.
