AB OBJECTIVES: Develop and evaluate overall strategies to measure
effectiveness of a large, military-based HIV education program. METHODS:
During capacity building for a fact-based HIV education program,
monitoring and evaluation was initiated. Utilizing a permanent,
multi-disciplinary consultative group, all process and outcome
assessments obtained through surveys, focus groups and objective
measures of effectiveness were reviewed, including Instructor training
process; personnel/personal commitment; reach statistics and
productivity; social diffusion; modes of educational media utilized; HIV
incidence; sustainability; and future planning. Group members had
expertise in education, health promotion, epidemiology, statistics,
behavioral sciences, survey design, public health with emphasis on STDs,
or program administration. RESULTS: Ongoing monitoring of HIV education
in this manner maintained a focus on program effectiveness, in terms of
the impact on decreasing transmission of HIV and reducing HIV incidence
in this population. Assessments to be presented indicated program
successes, strengths and challenges; this approach promoted a transition
to focussed education efforts with a goal of inducing and maintaining
behavior change. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Analyses using active,
multi-disciplinary monitoring of HIV education maintain clear goals and
objectives. Assessments, reviewed in this manner, focus interest on the
potentially most effective initiatives, and channel efforts into the
most productive areas for prevention of HIV infection.
