Boring Post

Hey psych majors-

Does anybody know any studies that demonstrate:

- the availability of resources for STIs/HIV prevention for 13-24 year olds in the DC area
- statistics that show there aren't enough resources available  (in DC or nationwide) that are accessible to the target demographic (I need stats that show discomfort among 13-24 years olds at accessing resources available at places like the red cross)
- stats that show a correlation between kids that have healthy relationships modeled for them and lowered STI rates (or something?  I don't know, we need to show that the "healthy relationship building" workshops are supported by some data)

Grantwriting has reared its head in my life again...

Abby- do you have anything from your SMP?

Many thanks,

ET

These are the times when I wish we still had access to the SMC library database online. There is tons of stuff out there but now that we are college graduates, I have no bloody clue how to access it. Sorry I cant be of more help Erica...good luck!!!

I think if you are an alumni you can still access the databases, but you have to call the school and set it up...the alumni office or something

Does the firm have access to any health journals? When is the grant due? I wonder if I can access the databases at SU yet. I'll have to see.

Erica, Dan Scheuerman used to work at an HIV/AIDS clinic in D.C. I bet he would know something about health care access, demographics of patients, other available resources... email him: kidatonal@gmail.com
Good luck!
