The Access to Care (A2C) is a multi-site initiative that seeks to increase the access to and retention in effective HIV healthcare and support services by people living with HIV across the United States. As the initiative implemented evidence-based programs in new settings with diverse populations, it was important to document these innovative efforts to contribute to the evidence base for best practices. In a partnership between Johns Hopkins University, AIDS United, and the A2C sites, a national evaluation strategy was developed and implemented to build knowledge about how linkage to care interventions could be most effectively implemented within the context of local, real-world settings. This article provides an overview of the efforts to develop and implement a national monitoring and evaluation strategy for a multi-site initiative. The findings may be of utility for other HIV interventions that are seeking to incorporate a monitoring and evaluation component into their efforts.
获得医疗服务(A2C)是一项多地点倡议,旨在增加美国各地艾滋病毒感染者获得有效艾滋病毒医疗保健和支持服务的机会并提高其留存率。随着该倡议在不同人群的新环境中实施循证项目,记录这些创新努力以丰富最佳实践的证据基础非常重要。在约翰霍普金斯大学、艾滋病联合会和A2C各地点的合作下,制定并实施了一项全国评估战略,以了解如何在当地实际环境中最有效地实施与护理干预的联系。本文概述了为一项多地点倡议制定和实施全国监测与评估战略的努力。这些发现可能对其他寻求将监测与评估纳入其工作的艾滋病毒干预措施有用。
