One of the great challenges Gede has faced over the last 6-12 months has been focused on evolving our own core competencies as we engage with leading agencies in order to undertake the large prevalence study of common mental disorders in a sample of over 1000 people living positively with HIV-AIDS. One of the key challenges has been focused on addressing the rigours required for undertaking a peer reviewed piece of research – which has included ensuring that the protocol itself passes the process of ethical review with flying colours. At the time of writing, Gede is putting the finishing touches to the document which will be submitted to the Ethical Review Board of our partners, the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria.
