The National Research Institute Special Publication no. 61: Behavioural Surveillance Research in Rural Development Enclaves in Papua New Guinea - A Study with the Oil Search Limited Workforce

The behavioural surveillance survey (BSS) research conducted by the National Research Institute at Oil Search Limited provides data for the NDoH National Surveillance System for monitoring behavioural trends with more-at-risk populations over time. The research is also conducted for OSL and the NDoH/ADB HIV Prevention in Rural Enclaves Project, to be used as a baseline for the monitoring and evaluation of their HIV project. The BSS research findings are based on a representative sample of 463 OSL workers and can support further tailoring of the OSL HIV prevention response to minimize the impact of the HIV epidemic on their workforce and their surrounding communities.
