The goal of this generic ICR is to
conduct qualitative studies to quickly identify barriers and
facilitators to HIV prevention, care and treatment in specific
regions with high HIV burden in the US. Intended use of the
resulting data is to identify ways to improve local programmatic
activities for specific communities along the continuum of HIV
prevention, treatment and care for populations and areas with the
greatest HIV burden. The populations to be studied include local
networks of persons living with HIV and persons at high risk of
acquiring HIV, including: persons with different racial and ethnic,
age, and socioeconomic characteristics; men who have sex with men;
transgender persons; and persons and organizations providing HIV
prevention, care, and treatment services to impacted populations.
Data will be analyzed using well established qualitative analysis
methods, such as coding interviews for themes about barriers and
successes to HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Structured
response surveys will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and
other appropriate statistical methods.
