Minority HIV/AIDS Programs Community-Based Organization Evaluation. HIV/AIDSEducation/Prevention Grant Program 1988-1989: A Cross-Site Evaluation

摘要

The project uses a multiple case study approach to assess nine of 38 projectawarded grants in 1988 and 1989. The evaluation study is designed to document, describe, and assess the effectiveness of community-based projects that address Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) prevention within minority communities. The grant program was designed to provide opportunities that support innovative approaches that minority programs use when targeting their communities and at-risk populations. The evaluation provides information as an assessment of the effectiveness of these projects. The results and findings of this evaluation will be used by the Office of Minority Health (OMH) and other agencies in identifying successful practices and common themes that could be used as innovative community-based risk reduction strategies. The study compares various community-based approaches to disease prevention and the impact of those approaches on minority communities.
