Spotlight on Urban Health Seminar Series
Drugs and Sex: Community-based Research at the AIDS Committee of Toronto

Winston Husbands, PhD
Director of Research and Program Development, AIDS Committee of Toronto



SUMMARY

In 2001 - 2004, the AIDS Committee of Toronto and five other AIDS service
organizations in Toronto collaborated on a study of party drugs in Toronto's
gay dance club scene.  The collaborating agencies were interested in
generating perspectives and knowledge to inform HIV prevention.  The study
examined the circumstances and reasoning processes associated with the use
of "party drugs" among gay and bisexual men in the gay dance club scene.
The seminar will discuss the development, implementation and results of the
study in relation to the practical implications of community-based research.
