| RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
The aim of the project is to reduce sexually transmitted infections among 18-24 year olds in Flint and Genesee County. We are connecting young adults with HIV/STI prevention information through face to face peer-led house parties, and an online social networking website. The HOPE project is the core research project for 2009-2014. Read more about the project | Improving Health in Partnership with Families and Communities The mission of the Prevention Research Center of Michigan (PRC/MI) is to create and foster knowledge resulting in more effective public health programs and policies. The Center conducts community-based prevention research to improve health and prevent disease, especially focused on populations with a disproportionate share of poor health outcomes. We have developed strong and committed partnerships among community-based organizations, health departments, health advocacy groups, health service providers, and academic institutions. Core research projects are located in the city of Flint and Genesee County Michigan. The PRC/MI is one of 37 Prevention Research Centers funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Prevention Research Centers work as an interdependent network of community, academic, and public health partners to conduct prevention research and promote the wide use of practices proven to promote good health.     |
