Understanding Community Experiences, Behaviours and Perspectives
Introduction
Qualitative Research forms an important part of the research portfolio at the Rakai Health Sciences Program (RHSP), focusing on understanding people's experiences, perspectives and behaviours in relation to health and healthcare services.
Through approaches such as in-depth interviews and community engagement, qualitative research explores the social and behavioural factors that influence health decisions, access to services and participation in HIV prevention and treatment programmes.
RHSP's ongoing qualitative research includes studies examining sexual network structures, HIV testing and treatment engagement, as well as youth and consenting.
