Samuel Kizito, MD, PhD

Samuel Kizito’s research interests focus on conducting behavioral research in youths living with HIV (and its complications) as well as those at elevated risk of acquiring the virus in low-income settings. Primarily, his work tests interventions that address structural barriers to access and adherence to HIV prevention and treatment. Second, he is a research methodologist interested in applying advanced quantitative methodological and statistical techniques in establishing intervention efficacy in studies with longitudinal and clustered data. Over the years, he has used methods including mixed-effects (multilevel or Hierarchical Linear Modeling) modeling, generalized estimating equations, survival analysis, structural equation modeling, latent growth curve modeling, risk prediction modeling, social network analysis, and agent based modeling that have resulted in over 60 publications in high impact journals including The Lancet, BMJ, and the Journal of Adolescent Health.
