Socially Integrated Multidisciplinary Epidemiology, Prevention, and Care in Public Health

 Dr. Friedman’s lecture will show how social network analysis has been used to understand how HIV and other infections spread through communities and how public health interventions might better be organized. Dr.Friedman will also discuss how social network interventions can assist in “treatment as prevention” through helping to locate recently infected people to get them into care but also to prevent them from transmitting HIV to others during the highly-risky first year of infection. Dr. Friedman will also discuss whether this aggressive social network intervention leads to harm for people who take part. Finally, he will discuss how these thoughts relate to other infections and conditions.

1.  In my spare time I read, enjoy movies and love to travel.  I’m willing to go almost anywhere I’ve never been before.

2. I don’t have a favorite movie, there are just too many to pick from, but my favorite book is “The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglass Adams.

3. I’m kind of a “foodie” so I like to try new things.  When we travel, we’re always using Tripadvisor and Yelp to find local, out of the way places.  My wife and I also do a lot BBQ as well.  We have a BBQ smoker and she has created her own dry rub recipe.

4. I make short films on the side. I’ve never made a dime doing it, but it’s always a pleasure to create something that didn’t exist before. I also collect movie memorabilia.
