First published in 1994. This volume arises largely out of a meeting with the same title as part of efforts to disseminate the work of its AIDS Initiative. The meeting brought together over forty British, European and American researchers in the social and behavioural sciences, as well as those involved in policy, planning and evaluation, to discuss methodological aspects of social research in relation to HIV/AIDS. Of relevance to those seeking insight into the contribution that social research can make to the epidemic, this book is essential reading for all concerned with the social dimensions of health.
