PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP V: DEVELOPING SUCCESSFUL INTERNATIONAL PREVENTION RESEARCH

The key purpose of this workshop is to assist participants to develop and refine international prevention research collaboration plans. International prevention research is increasingly recognized as a key dimension in the development of high quality Prevention Science. It facilitates the exchange of important contextual knowledge on epidemiology, cultural and socio-political considerations, situational circumstances and intervention design, which might otherwise remain in national silos. As international prevention research enables interventions to be adapted and disseminated to countries around the world, it provides important opportunities for prevention researchers to develop new perspectives and address questions that would not be possible within solely intra-national research groups.
