Training and ART scale-up: establishing an implementation research agenda.

摘要

The provision of HIV treatment and care in resource-limited settings is expanding rapidly. Health worker training is one of many factors critical to the rapid scale-up of high-qualitycare. Large numbers of health workers require HIV training, yet few countries have a comprehensive training plan, a clear assessment of ongoing training needs, a plan to operationalize training on a large scale, or adequate funds budgeted for training. In this setting, an extensive variety of HIV-related training programs have sprang up over the past few years. Unfortunately, there are limited data measuring their effectiveness, and there is no consensus about what constitutes effective training.
