Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Public health
  • Social psychology

Alan Neaigus mostly deals with Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Risk factor, Psychological intervention, Demography and Public health. His work on Sida as part of general Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research is frequently linked to Internet privacy, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies examine the connections between Psychological intervention and genetics, as well as such issues in Logistic regression, with regards to Odds ratio.

His Demography study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology, Heroin and Drug injection. His Public health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Intervention, Substance abuse, Peer group and Gerontology. Alan Neaigus usually deals with Substance abuse and limits it to topics linked to Environmental health and Prospective cohort study.

His most cited work include:

  • Sociometric risk networks and risk for HIV infection. (278 citations)
  • The relevance of drug injectors' social and risk networks for understanding and preventing HIV infection (257 citations)
  • Social Networks, Drug Injectors’ Lives, and HIV/AIDS (168 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Demography, Public health, Environmental health and Psychological intervention. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Viral disease, Immunology, Substance abuse, Drug and Risk factor. He interconnects Odds ratio, Logistic regression, Epidemiology, Gerontology and Heterosexuality in the investigation of issues within Demography.

His Public health research incorporates elements of Young adult, Ethnic group and Sexual transmission. His Environmental health research incorporates themes from Hepatitis B, Syphilis, Hepatitis C and Needle sharing. His Psychological intervention study incorporates themes from Peer pressure, Social psychology, Dyad, Intervention and Health education.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (57.02%)
  • Demography (39.47%)
  • Public health (31.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Demography (39.47%)
  • Gerontology (22.81%)
  • Public health (31.58%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Demography, Gerontology, Public health, Young adult and Environmental health. His study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Odds ratio, Logistic regression, Heroin users, Ethnic group and Heterosexuality. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Young adult, Clinical psychology, Developed country, Dyad and Social support is strongly linked to Unsafe Sex.

His Environmental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Drug injection, Pre-exposure prophylaxis, Health care and Hepatitis. Alan Neaigus interconnects Immunology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Substance abuse in the investigation of issues within Syphilis. His biological study focuses on Hiv prevalence.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • HIV infection and risk, prevention, and testing behaviors among injecting drug users -- National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, 20 U.S. cities, 2009. (58 citations)
  • Unprotected anal intercourse and sexually transmitted diseases in high-risk heterosexual women. (54 citations)
  • Awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among women who inject drugs in NYC: the importance of networks and syringe exchange programs for HIV prevention (52 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Public health
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Needle sharing, Environmental health, Hepatitis C, Young adult and Hepatitis. The various areas that Alan Neaigus examines in his Needle sharing study include Health psychology, Epidemiology, Syringe and Virology. His studies in Environmental health integrate themes in fields like Cross-sectional study, Heroin, Drug and Health care.

The Young adult study combines topics in areas such as Demography, Unsafe Sex and Public health. His Public health research includes themes of Men who have sex with men, Gerontology and Heterosexuality. His work investigates the relationship between Hepatitis and topics such as Chlamydia that intersect with problems in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Substance abuse.
