Recognizing that HIV testing provides a gateway opportunity to connect with at-risk populations, we explored an approach to collect, analyze and present data on the network of connections between HIV testing organizations and other health and social service agencies operating in Durham County, NC. We surveyed 26 health and social service organizations, including 6 providing HIV testing services, and presented the results including frequency tabulations, network visualizations and metrics, and GIS maps to the participating organizations. Mapping the landscape of organizational relationships was seen as a practical and expedient approach to facilitating cross-sector collaborative efforts to improve community health.
认识到艾滋病毒检测为接触高危人群提供了一个契机,我们探索了一种方法,用于收集、分析和呈现北卡罗来纳州达勒姆县开展业务的艾滋病毒检测组织与其他健康和社会服务机构之间的联系网络数据。我们调查了26个健康和社会服务组织,其中包括6个提供艾滋病毒检测服务的组织,并向参与调查的组织展示了结果,包括频率列表、网络可视化和指标以及地理信息系统地图。绘制组织关系的全貌被视为促进跨部门合作努力以改善社区健康的一种切实可行的方法。
