Youth & HIV/Hepatitis C Prevention in Nova Scotia.

The Our Youth, Our Response research project explored HIV and Hepatitis C prevention policies. This project sought to identify where youth-specific concerns were (or were not) included in these policies as this population is often overlooked within the HIV and Hepatitis C discussions. Our Café Scientifique will continue the dicussion by involving both youth and researchers in an informal setting to further identify unmet needs of youth in Nova Scotia. We will focus on exploring approaches which best address these needs from a youth persepective. Our goal is to give voice to youth, communities, policy makers, and researchers as we collectively share ideas, knowledge, and messages about HIV and Hepatitis prevention relevant to the very people whom out research involves.
