South Africa HIV testing Research Volunteer Opportunity
MPH student wanted to help complete research article by end of term.
The article is based on DrPH research conducted in South Africa looking at linkage to care after home based HIV testing. The quantitative results have been published. The graduate (now working for the Population Reference Bureau) had some very interesting qualitative findings as well, providing some insights into reasons for delay or failure to link to care.
Student will:
- Read the thesis
- Update the literature review, identifying and summarizing all relevant articles published since the thesis date (now about three years ago).
- Review qualitative quotes in the thesis, and potentially access the interview notes for additional quotes on the same themes.
- Assist Feeley and Reshma Naik (the thesis author) in drafting the article.
- Format the article for publication in selected journal.
Unpaid, but good work on the literature review and qualitative data extraction would entitle you to an authorship.
If interested, please contact ffeeley@bu.edu.
