  1. The State of HIV/AIDS-Related Research in Cambodia: A Review of Existing Research Studies1. Overview of the Process

  2. Presentation Outline Introduction: What types of research studies were collected? Description: How were the publications gathered? Results: What are have been researched with what design? Achievements: What are the strengths of the HIV/AIDS research community? Challenges: What are the gaps of the HIV/AIDS research community?

  3. How was „research“ defined? Purpose of the inventory: To catalogue the collected HIV/AIDS related research studies With the concrete objective: To aggregate all published knowledge on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its response On-going research therefore excluded Research was understood as: A systematic investigation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge (University of Virginia, University of Pennsylvania)

  4. What types of research studies were collected? Journal articles: Saphonn, V. et al. (2005). "Trends of HIV-1 Seroincidence Among HIV-1 Sentinel Surveillance Groups in Cambodia, 1999–2002." Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes39(5): 6 Reports: RHAC (2006). Knowledge and Behavior of Young People on STI, Family Planning and HIV/AIDS. Phnom Penh: 43.

Diversity Each organization looks at HIV from a different angle, ensuring a holistic response

  15. What are the gaps of the HIV/AIDS research community? • Neglected knowledge management - Of 103 reports, 18 are lost (17% of all reports) - Organizations themselves not aware of all their publications Recommendation: Organizations to keep a complete list of all publications together with reference copies • No coordinative structure in place - Abundance of organizations carrying out research - Some well-linked, others not at all Recommendation: To establish some type of forum where all organizations can come together
