# Joint Effects and Community-Level Characteristics in Estimating Cerebrovascular Risk Among HIV Infected and Uninfected Veterans

> **NIH VA IK2** · VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION · 2020 · —

## Abstract

The overall objective of this study is to determine the efect of neighborhood-level
characteristics along with individual-level joint characteristics on cerebrovascular disease
(CeVD) outcomes among HIV positive and negative veterans. The proposed epidemiologic
strategy, which has been underutilized in HIV and CeVD research, includes multi-level
analyses that incorporate a neighborhood-level characteristic (race and ethnic segregation)
along with the joint efects of individual-level characteristics (HIV treatment, mood disorders,
alcohol/drug abuse/dependence) in estimating the incidence of CeVD. This will be the frst
study to consider neighborhood-level along with the joint efects of individual-level
characteristics in HIV and CeVD research.
