Global Operations
In addition to the United States, the Social Intervention Group (SIG) operates and conducts research in over ten countries. Whether implementing behavioral interventions in Central Asia, Africa, or the middle east to improve the health of those often left behind – women, people who use drugs, sex workers, sexual and gender minorities, migrant workers, or refugees -- SIG brings decades of experience to each region, while partnering with local experts to ensure cultural appropriateness.
