Research Overview
Susan M. Kiene studies behaviors that put individuals at risk for HIV/AIDS and methods for preventing HIV transmission. Dr. Kiene's research program in rural Uganda (the Salawo Uganda--Brown Collaboration) aims to develop effective and sustainable methods in the public health care sector to empower individuals to change their behavior to protect themselves from HIV or to prevent transmitting HIV to un-infected others.
Dr. Kiene's research interests include: international HIV prevention, alcohol-involved HIV-sexual risk behavior, health behavior change and maintenance, daily diary/daily process methodology, measurement of sexual behavior and concordance of self-reports with biological measures.
The majority Dr. Kiene's current research is taking place in Uganda where she and her team (the Salawo Uganda--Brown Collaboration) are conducting several studies on routine/opt-out HIV-testing and counseling in rural outpatient settings.
Dr. Kiene is also part of the CHIP team that is conducting a 16-site RCT of an HIV-prevention intervention (SA Options) for HIV-positive patients delivered in the context of ongoing clinical care in public health clinics in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
