Bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the Diaspora: The 2011 Update

Abstract

Introduction
This is the ninth update of the bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, which has been published annually since 2003. All the eight previous issues included published and unpublished research on HIV/AIDS and related health conditions and issues, including other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and socioeconomic, behavioral and policy as well as risk behavior, gender-based violence, family planning, and relevant health policy and interventions. This update extends the bibliography to cover references not listed in previous updates, both publications and presentations that appeared in 2011. Following the earlier updates, this issue presents new references under the same eight main headings, as follows: 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. Similarly, Section 9 lists of selected websites. The text preceding the reference listing attempts to provide brief summary of the studies in their respective categories. In this update we have tried to highlight the fact that masters theses are also being conducted within the emerging and other universities (other than AAU). As these institutions are increasing in number, dwelling on such a discussion will help in identifying priority issues as well in indicating
directions so that unnecessary repetitions and duplications of efforts can be avoided.
