Introduction & Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework represents causal effects between two phenomena – agent characteristics, behaviors & interventions, outputs –
in the agent-based model (ABM):

Conclusions
• The ABM closely approximated HIV prevalence and incidence among drug users in New York City, 1992-2002.
• Future work will identify optimal combinations of HIV prevention interventions for drug-using populations.
• Although not without challenges, complex systems approaches have the potential to inform “real world” policy scenarios, including combined HIV prevention strategies.
• Additional results will be presented in oral abstract late breaker session C, Friday July 27th at 11:00am in Session Room 6.
