Personalized public health: an implementation research agenda for the HIV response and beyond
Rigorous testing in randomized controlled trials and other research designs yields evidence that medical and health interventions can be beneficial. However, it is well known that achieving commensurate real-world benefits may be more challenging, whether in an individual patient with comorbidities, for instance, or in a country setting where unpredictable secular factors may impact on the effectiveness of health interventions.
In this month's Editorial, Elvin Geng and co-authors discuss the role of adaptation in implementing effective therapies for prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, aiming to understand and meet patient preferences and to overcome barriers to delivering care in specific contexts.
