What
is CBRS?
 The
Center for Behavioral Research and Services is a multi-function unit of
California State University, Long Beach, and is dedicated to psychosocial
research and services related to community health and social problems.
The establishment of this unit was prompted and facilitated by the 1993
merger of the CSULB-based AIDS Research and Education Project and the
Long Beach AIDS Network, a community-based HIV service organization originally
founded by the City of Long Beach's Department of Health and Human Services.
Description
The CSULB Center for Behavioral Research and Services (CBRS)
conducts social and behavioral research on health and substance-use related
issues. The focus of these studies has been on HIV risk, sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and understanding tobacco use among young people. CBRS
also operates programs to reduce HIV risk in historically under-served
populations.
Location
CBRS employs approximately 50 individuals and conducts
most of its activities in the Long Beach and South Bay areas of Southern
California, though it has participated in or conducted national and international
programs. Office-based activities are located in a 8,280 square foot community
facility that serves as the main administrative office, the base for outreach
activities, and a location for prevention counseling programs. CBRS also
operates a mobile unit that brings HIV testing and counseling and immune
assessment services to drug users both in and out of treatment, visiting
drug treatment programs and neighborhoods with a high prevalence of drug
abuse.
