paul D’Avanzo, PhD, MS

Dr. D’Avanzo’s research seeks to address implementation issues around screening and treatment for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. As a behavioral scientist, he looks for opportunities to enhance healthcare providers’ compliance with clinical guidelines through the application of social and behavioral theory. In a rapidly changing healthcare environment, he hopes to better understand clinicians’ education and training needs, and to develop provider-targeted behavioral interventions to help them better meet the needs of their sexual and gender minority patients, and patients living with HIV.
