About This Book
A comprehensive guide to creating, implementing, and evaluating culturally competent HIV prevention programs.
Recent literature on effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity and cultural competence in the delivery of services and care. Successful prevention interventions must be tailored for their target populations. Yet many HIV/AIDS prevention professionals struggle to meet the specific needs of their communities.
Tools for Building Culturally Competent HIV Prevention Programs contains a variety of well-informed, evidence-based approaches to HIV prevention programs. It offers all the tools practitioners need to launch an effective prevention program: from identifying program goals and objectives, to developing program models, to recruiting and retaining staff, and finally to conducting evaluations and reporting results. All material is filtered through a cultural perspective and methods are tailored to specific racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
- Additional resources are included to assist in the preparation and development of your prevention program, such as:
- Federal standards and guidelines for culturally competent health care and social service provision
- True-life case studies that show how other HIV prevention programs succeeded
- Checklists, worksheets and templates to create, monitor, and manage your program
-
The CD includes:
- Customizable checklists and worksheets that you can use in your program
- A demonstration of the Virtual Program Evaluation Consultant (VPEC) software program, a program evaluation service offered by Sociometrics Corporation. Purchasers of this book will get a three-month license to VPEC free
