Description
Much has been learned from research investigating behavioral interventions to prevent the spread of HIV and its numerous health consequences. Some of the strategies developed from HIV behavioral research such as targeting multiple risk factors, integrating behavioral interventions with medical treatment delivery, and intervening at multiple system levels (e.g., individual, community, organization, socio-cultural) could inform research to develop efficacious health behavior interventions for people with mental disorders. Although HIV has a clearly defined etiology while mental disorder etiologies are complex and less well understood, behavioral interventions for HIV could serve as a model to stimulate health behavior intervention research related to the function, disability, morbidity, and mortality of people with mental disorders. The purpose of this request for applications is to encourage innovative research in health behavior change among those with mental disorders that is informed by research from behavioral interventions for HIV/AIDS.
