SEARCH 002: Establishing normal values for neuropsychological testing in HIV-negative Thais

Picture
Outline
The Southeast Asia Research Collaboration with Hawaii (SEARCH) operates or collaborates on several neuroAIDS research protocols and to allow accurate interpretation of neuropsychological data, normative data that are obtained in a similar population are needed. Normative data tables typically require hundreds of individuals so that age and education strata can be established, and this study is enrolls up to 1000 HIV-seronegative individuals for this purpose. We have currently assessed 480 indi

In addition, we have also re-tested a representative sample of 100 individuals at 6 months and 12 months to determine the practice effects of the neuropsychological test in this cohort, a necessary step for proper interpretation of longitudinal testing in HIV patients.
