Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Disease

Helen A. Weiss focuses on Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Sexually transmitted disease, Epidemiology and Demography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Odds ratio, Randomized controlled trial and Psychological intervention in addition to Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Her Immunology research includes themes of Internal medicine, Confidence interval and Men who have sex with men.

Her Epidemiology study incorporates themes from Meta-analysis, Disease, Young adult and Transmission. Her Demography study combines topics in areas such as Cross-sectional study, Public health, Sex organ, Heterosexuality and Risk factor. Her work deals with themes such as Relative risk and Gynecology, which intersect with Risk factor.

Her most cited work include:

  • Herpes simplex virus 2 infection increases HIV acquisition in men and women: systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. (1016 citations)
  • Male circumcision and risk of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (585 citations)
  • Effectiveness of an intervention led by lay health counsellors for depressive and anxiety disorders in primary care in Goa, India (MANAS): a cluster randomised controlled trial. (407 citations)

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

Helen A. Weiss mainly investigates Demography, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Randomized controlled trial and Internal medicine. The concepts of her Demography study are interwoven with issues in Odds ratio, Condom, Young adult, Cross-sectional study and Risk factor. In her work, Obstetrics is strongly intertwined with Gynecology, which is a subfield of Odds ratio.

Helen A. Weiss combines subjects such as Syphilis, Epidemiology and Incidence with her study of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Her study looks at the intersection of Immunology and topics like Virology with Sex organ. Her Randomized controlled trial study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Clinical trial, Intervention, Family medicine and Depression.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (19.82%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (18.50%)
  • Immunology (18.28%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Randomized controlled trial (16.74%)
  • Family medicine (11.67%)
  • Odds ratio (13.66%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Randomized controlled trial, Family medicine, Odds ratio, Psychological intervention and Intervention. Her work carried out in the field of Randomized controlled trial brings together such families of science as Mental health, Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Depression. Her work in Depression is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Her Family medicine research includes themes of Psychosocial, Public health and Hygiene. Her research integrates issues of Logistic regression, Demography, Epidemiology and Cohort study in her study of Odds ratio. Her Demography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hiv epidemiology, Syphilis and Female sex.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Healthy Activity Program (HAP), a lay counsellor-delivered brief psychological treatment for severe depression, in primary care in India: a randomised controlled trial (154 citations)
  • Association of antiretroviral therapy with high-risk human papillomavirus, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and invasive cervical cancer in women living with HIV: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (75 citations)
  • Counselling for Alcohol Problems (CAP), a lay counsellor-delivered brief psychological treatment for harmful drinking in men, in primary care in India: a randomised controlled trial (65 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Disease

Her primary areas of investigation include Randomized controlled trial, Odds ratio, Psychological intervention, Internal medicine and Public health. She has researched Randomized controlled trial in several fields, including Young adult, Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Depression. Her Odds ratio study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology, Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and Pediatrics.

Her studies in Psychological intervention integrate themes in fields like Disease cluster, Clinical psychology and Blame. Her study in Public health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Reproductive health and Environmental health. Her studies deal with areas such as Gynecology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Cohort study as well as Incidence.
