Wendee M. Wechsberg (born May 21,1954) is an American biobehavioral social science researcher. She has utilized mixed methods research to develop and evaluate HIV prevention interventions for diverse populations, focusing on underserved women, adolescent girls, and couples who use substances since 1994. She is a pioneer in the scientific field of addressing gender inequalities in relation to the syndemic factors of substance use, HIV, and gender violence.[1] She is known for the creation of the evidence-based Women’s CoOp[2][3] HIV prevention intervention for women who used crack-cocaine and subsequent age-, gender- and culturally-sensitive global adaptations across more than three decades of HIV research.[4]
