The
International AIDS Economics Network today released results from its annual poll of global AIDS policy professionals of most important information resources. The survey returned 258 completed surveys from 64 countries listing over 2700 information resources. Approximately half of the returned surveys were from developed countries, half from developing countries. The survey had important results:
- Four sites (in addition to the IAEN) lead results:
UNAIDS,
WHO,
World Bank, and
Kaiser Family Foundation;
- There are many information resources available, none of which really dominate (with the possible exception of UNAIDS) -- seemingly everyone gets their information from different sources;
- There are few sites focussing on discussion or collaboration.
The
full report provides detailed results and commentary. This in my opinion is a key document for global AIDS professionals.
