| Author |

Department Of Epidemiology |
| Synopsis |
The impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on health related quality of life (QOL), of HIV-1 infected individuals in large prospective cohorts, has not been well studied. To assess the effect of HAART on QOL by comparing HIV-infected women using HAART with HIV-infected women remaining HAART naïve in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a multicenter prospective cohort study began in 1994 in the US. |

| Author |
Alan Schwartz |
| Company |
University of Illinois at Chicago, USA |
| Synopsis |
The web-based Library Consult Service represents a natural evolution in the processes of evidence-based practice. It offers administrators the freedom to modify the system to suit their needs and is likely to be cost effective for experimentation by libraries. As an information system, it connects clinicians who have patient-oriented information needs with clinical librarians who have expertise in search and appraisal of medical literature. |
