AB OBJECTIVE: To develop an appropriate model for improving STD
surveillance among traders or Informal Commercial Importers (IcIs), high
risk, resistant group. METHODS: From January to October 1993, key
informant interviews were held with leaders of the organized groupings,
followed by focus groups and informal survey among 330 Icls, on AIDS
Awareness tours of selling arcades. A model was designed based on the
group's input and tested at 2 sites (Kingston & Montego Bay) on three
occassions. RESULTS: A model based on the principal of providing health
screening for the major concerns identified by Icls, including HIV/STD
testing was developed. MODEL.
1-->2-->3-->5-->6-->7-->8-->9-->10-->11-->12 key--1 Registration,
2--Video theatre/waiting area, 3--blood pressure, height/weight
4--private KAP booths 5--screened blood letting area 6--eye screening
(optional) 7--family planning (optional) 8--medical advisor 9--condom
demonstrations revaluation 10--Refreshments 11--STD clinic
12--educational sessions. CONCLUSION: A total of 500 participants were
targetted using the model and 352 (70%) responded, expressing
satisfaction levels of 93% and revealing that the HIV/STD rate was
higher than the general population. The importance of pre and post test
counselling was reflected in in improved knowledge and condom skills
among the groups.
