Sharing HIV research findings with participants

March 5th, 2013

Is it feasible to share research findings with HIV-infected participants enrolled in observational research in rural sub-Saharan African?

Anna Baylor and colleagues orally disseminated their findings to 477 research participants during a meeting modelled on a traditional wedding event.

The information was enthusiastically received by participants.

The meeting was a rewarding experience for the research team and identified new areas for investigation, say the authors.
