INFECTIOUS DISEASE

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

HCG has provided feasibility, site selection, recruitment, retention and site support services for HIV and HPV studies. HCG discovered recruitment in this therapeutic area comes down to community—both virtual and feet on the street. HCG augmented a media-based campaign for an HPV vaccine trial with advertising and web seeding on social networking sites. For HIV, HCG created best practice guidelines for grassroots community recruitment in both the GBLT and sex worker communities that made use of non-traditional venues, approaches and local icons to spur face-to-face enrollment.
