COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP

Our Community Advisory Group (CAG) is a dynamic group of local individuals who consult with us to make sure our work is responsive to the needs and concerns of our diverse Bay Area communities.

The purpose of the CAG is to include community members at all levels of the research process: study design, gaining informed consent, community education, recruitment efforts, results dissemination and the protection of study volunteers.

The CAG brings a specific, unique expertise to the research process, informing researchers of local issues or concerns that can affect the conduct and successful implementation of research studies.

Our CAG members contribute their own professional or personal experience to the successful conduct of our studies. Members have included: health educators, study participants, people living with HIV/AIDS, women of childbearing age, youth, representatives from diverse racial and ethnic communities, religious communities, and community-based organizations.

If you are interested in becoming a member of our CAG or providing us with feedback about our work, please contact Gavin Morrow-Hall, Community Educator, at 415-437-4696.

Please note the Community Advisory Group meetings are private and open only to members.
