Nancy VanDevanter has conducted extensive behavioral intervention research integrating a community based participatory research approach into the development and testing of theory-driven interventions to promote health and reduce disease in populations with significant health disparities. Her interventions have focused on individuals living with HIV, first among HIV infected blood donors and later an NIH funded qualitative study to identify the adaptive tasks and context of risk behavior in adolescents with behaviorally acquired HIV. As a principal investigator, she has tested interventions to increase self-protective sexual health behaviors in adolescents and women at risk for HIV.
