Bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the Diaspora: The 2013 Update

Abstract

This is the eleventh annual update of the bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, which we are pleased to present to researchers, policy makers and practitioners as the apparently only annual bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Africa. It includes, like all previous issues, published and unpublished research on HIV/AIDS and related health conditions and issues, particularly other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and socioeconomic, behavioral and cultural conditions, gender violence, sexuality, family planning, relevant policy and interventions. As in previous updates, all references are listed under eight main headings: basic biomedical research; epidemiological, behavioral, socio-economic and cultural research; impacts research; treatment, care and clinical research; prevention research; health services and health policy research; health informatics, monitoring and evaluation research; and HIV/AIDS research on Ethiopians in the Diaspora. Section 9 lists previous HIV/AIDS related bibliographies, and Section 10 lists pertinent and active websites for further references. The text preceding each list of references briefly summarizes patterns and trends and highlights key findings of the studies presenting new approaches, concepts or tools. The introduction of new topics and issues will hopefully encourage research into neglected, but relevant and promising areas of research. We want to emphasize that increasing complexity and integration of programs makes the categorization of references more difficult and recommend that readers interested in any one area of research review also other sections in this update. Finally, we would like to remind readers that, with the advent of early online publications, some of the references listed in this 2013 update could appear in print in 2014 with slightly different citation information.
