Local, National and Global Perspectives
CBAM has a strong community focus, serving those most in need in our own backyard, Los Angeles County.
We have developed strong relationships with local government and community based organizations to address the needs of low income, high risk, individuals in communities of color and communities with health disparities.
Over the years, we have found that our work in Los Angeles translates across populations throughout the world.
CBAM faculty and staff are active in national networks that shape the direction of addiction research and HIV prevention in the U.S. They also work with teams in South Africa, Vietnam, Australia and other countries around the world.
