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.
