Abstract
Five policy advocates and practitioners provide recommendations to research ers to make research data more usable, accessible, and applicable for the f ield of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among injecting and o ther drug users. Translating research into usable information will facilita te its use within political and policy discussions. When researchers and pr actitioners truly work together in a common enterprise, the result will be powerful HIV prevention programs that will save lives.
