Bright Ideas: Innovative or Promising Practices in HIV Prevention and HIV Prevention Community Planning. Third Edition

摘要

Bright Ideas 2002 follows the success of Bright Ideas 2001 and 2000, shared for the first time two years ago (March 2000) at the Community Planning Leadership Summit for HIV Prevention in Los Angeles. We are pleased to present another set of practices identified as noteworthy or promising, to help us better share and network about strategies to increase the effectiveness of community planning and HIV prevention in the nation. This review was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in October 2001. The External Review brings together representatives from community planning groups, health departments, and CDC, along with behavioral/social scientists and epidemiologists to provide a peer review of the applications and plans submitted annually by the sixty-five state and local health departments funded by CDC. The purpose of the External Review is to monitor ongoing compliance with CDCs Guidance on Community Planning, as well as to identify technical assistance needs and noteworthy practices around HIV prevention planning and programs.
