Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370362
AB OBJECTIVES: 1) Establish the level of interest among public health
workers in APEC member countries in networking with their counterparts
in business to discuss AIDS prevention, 2) Describe the level of
awareness of these selected public health workers of business related
initiatives in their countries and communities, and 3) Solicit comments
from these individuals about other innovative public health AIDS
prevention approaches being put into place. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An
initial polling was carried out of 55 individuals, identified through
international agencies, from fifteen APEC countries. Questionnaires were
provided in English and in the four other working written languages of
APEC. Additional polling is now underway based on referrals from this
core. RESULTS: Although polling is ongoing as this abstract is being
submitted, 40% of questionnaires were returned in the first three weeks
of work. Preliminary results suggest that 1) There is a strong level of
interest among these workers in networking with their counterparts in
business and private enterprise, 2) There is a very limited experience
of these workers with business initiatives which have been launched
through business service organizations in the region, and 3) There are
numerous pioneering strategies being mounted in AIDS prevention in the
Asia Pacific region which augers well for the capacity to prevent a
catastrophic HIV/AIDS epidemic. Further results will be included in the
final analysis when polling is complete.
