The Behavioral and Social Sciences Program
The Behavioral and Social Sciences Program, under the leadership of Dr. Larry Brown, Professor of Psychiatry, has brought together more than forty researchers in behavioral sciences from the Departments of Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Medicine as well as the Brown Center for Behavioral Medicine. The goal is to provide a framework for dealing with psychiatric and behavioral issues in HIV as they specifically relate to the several distinct age groups (adolescent, young adult, elderly) and specific high-risk ethnic groups (predominately Latinos and /African-Americans).
