Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention Requests Submissions for 2011 Monograph

SUBMISSIONS SOLICITED FOR 2011 Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (RCAP) MONOGRAPH

RCAP will be publishing its eighth monograph on AIDS/STD prevention in rural America in early 2011. To help inform rural HIV/STD prevention specialists about what others are doing, we will devote about one-half of the monograph to brief reports of promising HIV/STD behavioral intervention programs in rural communities, like those described in Chapter 7 Behavioral Interventions That Might Work of the RCAP publication, Tearing Down Fences: HIV/STD Prevention in Rural America. This opportunity to describe a prevention program that might work in the monograph is open ONLY to programs not already described in FENCES.

If you work in HIV/STD prevention in a rural community and have a promising HIV/STD behavioral intervention program that you would like to describe and possibly be included in the next RCAP monograph please consider submitting to RCAP (by July 15, 2010) a one-half page abstract about your program. The directions are listed below.
The RCAP co-directors will review all of the submitted abstracts and select about eight to ten to be included in the monograph. We will then invite the author(s) of these abstracts to send in a more thorough program description (6-10 typed pages) that will be published in the monograph.

Directions for abstract submission:
1. submit a typed, one-half page description of the program and include it as an email attachment or place it in the body of an email;
2. include in the abstract: (1) title of the program, (2) intended audience and where implemented, (3) brief description of project and any evaluation, and (4) contact person(s) with contact information;
3. submit to aids@indiana.edu and place “RCAP monograph” in email subject line. If an email is not possible, please fax to: 812-855-3936;
4. submit by July 15, 2010.
