Established in 1986, the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) is a research center within the University of California-San Francisco, and has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to methods of preventing HIV infection and its consequences. With a team of researchers and faculty members from various academic disciplines, CAPS performs a variety of important tasks, including helping train new scientists to conduct AIDS prevention research, and also in disseminating knowledge, skills and effective research and prevention models to the general public and various health agencies. Visitors with an academic interest in this area may want to start by perusing the Research section of the site, as it contains information about their current and completed research projects, along with information about community collaborative research projects. One rather useful part of the site for the general public is the publications area. Here visitors may download fact sheets (offered here in Spanish or English) and read some of CAPS latest reports, such as the urban health study that addresses the issue of performing community-based research with injection drug users.
