AB OBJECTIVE: To investigate factors perceived to contribute to the
sustainability of the local response to HIV/AIDS and sexual health in
Bristol and District (B&D), a case study in the South West of England.
METHODS: The method of inquiry was derived from the worldview of
qualitative research and the emerging socioecological paradigm of
health. Forty-eight key informants participated in face-to-face
interviews and an organizational and community inventory. RESULTS:
Qualitative analyses revealed leadership, healthy alliances, resource
allocation, participation by the affected population, wider involvement
and local targets for The Health of the Nation strategy to be among the
perceived sustainability factors. The relationship between
organizational variables and the importance of different factors for
maintaining health, the priority of health in one's life and selected
attitudinal statements was statistically analyzed. CONCLUSIONS: This
case study generated an intergrated and interactive framework called
Reorienting Organizations and Community to Sustain the AIDS Response.
The framework suggests the need to combine behavioral and organizational
interventions that involve community to sustain HIV/AIDS prevention and
care efforts. The potential for this framework to assess and, or predict
the sustainability of a local response to HIV/AIDS and sexual health
should be tested in other environments.
