The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) Capacity
Building Branch provides capacity building assistance (CBA), such
as training and technical assistance, to community-based
organizations, health departments, and healthcare organizations
that provide HIV prevention services (e.g., HIV testing, risk
reduction counseling, linkage to medical care, HIV awareness
information). CBA services ensure that on-the-ground HIV prevention
programs and their staff have the skills, information, and
organizational support they need to reduce the spread of HIV. CBA
services are most often provided to staff in positions such as HIV
educator, clinical supervisor, HIV prevention specialist,
clinician, outreach worker, case manager director, program
coordinator, program manager, disease intervention specialist,
partner services provider, physicians, nurses, and health
educators, etc. These staff will be asked questions about the CBA
services that they received, such as how satisfied they were with
the CBA services and how they benefitted from them. This study will
assess the degree to which the recipients of CBA services were
satisfied with CBA services (e.g., training and technical
assistance) and the degree to which they benefitted from CBA
services, including changes in knowledge and skills.
