The Community-based Organization (CBO)
Monitoring and Evaluation Project (CMEP) of Respect has two
purposes: 1) to monitor changes in client's self-reported HIV risk
behaviors and attitudes after participating in the Effective
Behavioral Intervention (EBI) Respect as delivered by CDC-funded
CBOs and 2) to assess the fidelity of the delivery of Respect at
CBOs. From July 2010 through July 2015, CMEP will provide
additional funds through FOA 10-1003 to four CBOs to collect
outcome monitoring data from 400 men who have sex with men (MSM)
who are participating in Respect as well as process and fidelity
assessment data about the implementation of the interventions.
CMEP-Respect will employ a repeated measures design to collect
client-level data before the intervention and then again at
three-months and six-months following the intervention. Findings
will help to further understanding of how these interventions are
delivered once they leave the research arena and whether or not
they are associated with behavior change. Ultimately this
information will help CBOs improve their intervention delivery and
better serve clients.
