About us

Sigma Research is a social research group specialising in the behavioural and policy aspects of HIV and sexual health. It also undertakes research and development work on aspects of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual health and well-being.

In the last ten years, Sigma Research has undertaken more than seventy research and development projects concerned with the impact of HIV on the sexual and social lives of a variety of populations. This includes needs assessments, evaluations and service and policy reviews funded from a range of sources. We have an international reputation as one of the most important and innovative sources of new social scientific information in these areas.

Most projects culminate in the publication of research reports. We have published more than sixty research-into-practice reports, many of which can be downloaded or ordered here. All research reports are available free and can also be ordered online, for postal delivery. This site also contains detailed descriptions of all our current research projects, listings of our journal articles and book chapters and a variety of our questionnaires to download.
