PRS routinely conducts systematic reviews of the HIV/AIDS behavioral prevention research literature using standard procedures for searching and evaluating the empirical evidence. These systematic reviews enable PRS to monitor the progress of behavioral intervention research.

Efficacy Review

The PRS efficacy review is a systematic review of the HIV/AIDS behavioral prevention research literature that identifies evidence-based HIV behavioral interventions. PRS intends to make this efficacy review an ongoing process to identify new evidence-based interventions as they are reported in the scientific literature. More information about the PRS efficacy review process and our published reports can be found under Efficacy Review.
