19th Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research From research to intervention: successes and challenges
July 10, 2011 - July 13, 2011
| Québec City Convention Centre
Opinion leaders, researchers and clinicians from around the world provide leadership in STI/HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The ISSTDR Québec 2011 brought them together to share their latest research results, innovation, good practice and expertise. As the theme of the conference was "From research to intervention: successes and challenges", many sessions at the conference focussed on the use of research results to inform the implementation of better and more efficient clinical and public health practices. The meeting also focussed on rigorous scientific evaluation of clinical and preventive interventions and emphasized what work best in these fields.
Five main tracks guided the preparation of the scientific program.
1. Epidemiology track
2. Social and behavioural aspects of prevention track
3. Clinical sciences track
4. Basic sciences track
5. Health services and policy track
