Dialogue on Community Involvement in Microbicide Trials in Southern Africa, Johannesburg, South Africa July 2003
This meeting was co-convened by the Global Campaign and the South African Microbicide Research Initiative (SAMRI). The Dialogue brought together community outreach staff from eight research sites in four countries in southern Africa, marking the first time that community involvement in microbicide trials has been specifically considered across various networks. Thirty-five participants shared experiences and challenges from ongoing community involvement operations in their sites. Together they developed responses to some of the more challenging issues, and discussed various approaches to community involvement in microbicide research. Structured first of all as an exchange of experiences to-date, the Dialogue also involved extensive discussion of emerging practices, unresolved questions, and future directions for community involvement in microbicide trials.
