The Society for Prevention Research was formed in 1991 and has grown from a small group of researchers focused on drug and alcohol abuse prevention and mental health to become a leading scientific organization devoted to advancing prevention science, with 700+ members and a multidisciplinary prevention focus that emphasizes drug abuse, mental health and HIV/AIDS prevention in addition to diverse, public health domains (e.g., obesity, violence, translational science). The annual meetings promote cross-fertilization of theory, methods, and intervention and provide an opportunity to enhance understanding of the underlying mechanisms of health-related issues with the goal of building the science of effective strategies, and for prevention and health promotion.

The Specialized Centers of Research (SCOR) programs are large Center Programs (P50) that consist of 11 Centers that conduct interdisciplinary research focused on health issues that affect women and examine sex/gender contributions to health and disease. The currently funded SCORs are interdepartmental, intercollegiate, interinstitutional and focus on sex differences in musculoskeletal health, tobacco, addiction, substance abuse, reproductive health, urinary tract, depression, metabolic disorders and pain. The SCOR mechanism promotes collaborative research among scientists with varied expertise in order to achieve research objectives that are less likely to occur through other grant mechanisms.

The objective of the State Cancer Profiles Web site is to provide a system to characterize the cancer burden in a standardized manner in order to motivate action, integrate surveillance into cancer control planning, characterize areas and demographic groups, and expose health disparities. The focus is on cancer sites for which there are evidence based control interventions. Interactive graphics and maps provide visual support for deciding where to focus cancer control efforts.

Strategic Multisite Initiative for the Identification, Linkage and Engagement in Care of Youth with Undiagnosed HIV Infection (SMILE in CARING for YOUTH)

Research Initiative

|
The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) was awarded grant money to expand their project of increasing availability of HIV testing for adolescents 12-24 and the provision of adolescent-focused healthcare services for those adolescents who are diagnosed with HIV infection. The project''s expansion includes all the ATN sites across the U.S. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is collecting data to evaluate the effectiveness of adolescent oriented linkage to care services for the HIV infected adolescents. This collaboration has the potential to improve the health of American youth, both by identifying those with undiagnosed HIV and bringing them into adolescent-friendly treatment programs and by reducing the chances of them further spreading the virus to others. There is a committee "SMILE in CARING for YOUTH" that monitors activities related to the National Institutes of Health-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaboration on enhancing treatment and retention in care of HIV youth.
