AB OBJECTIVE: To uncover and describe the challenges of implementing Health
Promotion in community HIV/AIDS organizations and programs. METHODS: A
participatory, community-based study, this inquiry is informed by
interpretive sociology, making use of verbatim, subjective material and
qualitative analysis to advance health promotion research. Subjects of
the study were all working members of the staff and board of this AIDS
service organization, selected especially for their ability to
articulate the work experience. Their texts were collected on audio tape
through depth interviewing and interpreted using grounded theory
techniques. RESULTS: The analysis itemizes an agenda to promote the
health of AIDS affected communities, identifying partners and addressing
opportunities which would enable the transformation of organizational
practices, professional care and social policy. DISCUSSION: At a time of
profound self-questioning in community-based HIV/AIDS work. the search
for new thinking, practices and organizational strategy has never been
more intense. Failing to address the way in which socio-environmental
health issues such as powerlessness, anger and despair affect HIV/AIDS
work, would be to miss crucial educational needs and opportunities
affecting prevention, support and care. The Vancouver
research--sponsored by Health Canada--describes how front-line workers
are adapting to these realities, toward the development of a national
health promotion education program for everyone working with community
AIDS organizations.
