Subject: FEEDBACK REQUESTED: Help HHIAG improve its processes

Body:

Dear ,

We are requesting feedback from you in your role as an HIV Health Improvement Affinity Group (HHAIG) participant. As you know, the HHIAG initiative was launched in October 2016. The purpose of this data collection is to (1) assess the extent to which, and how, participation in HHIAG was useful for developing and implementing an action plan to improve health outcomes for persons living with HIV that are enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP and (2) document the lessons learned from implementing the action plans including successes, challenges, and promising practices.

We are seeking your feedback on the following areas:

• Opportunity to establish or strengthen partnerships

• Effectiveness and usefulness of HHIAG

• Outputs or outcomes of HHIAG processes

• Lessons learned, including success, challenges and promising practices

We would greatly appreciate your completion of an online assessment that will take approximately 25 minutes.

Your feedback is valuable and will be used to guide decisions about the future of HHIAG beyond the first year, disseminate lessons learned to participating and non-participating states, federal partners, and the larger public health community, and inform potential applicability of the affinity group model for other programs (e.g. STD Prevention, Hepatitis). Data will be shared in the aggregate via webinars, blogs, and publication. Participation in the assessment is voluntary.

The assessment will be open from [START DATE] until [END DATE]. We look forward to hearing from you.
