Substance Use and HIV: Learning Lab Session- Developing and Expanding Services

June 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Substance use and HIV are important public health issues on their own and in conjunction with each other. Substance use is a major risk factor for contracting HIV and substance use disorders are prevalent among people living with HIV. In addition, substance use can significantly worsen the progression of HIV. HIV has a disproportionate impact on populations already facing unequal health outcomes and improving the public health response to HIV can help address health disparities. Part one of this webinar series will review data on the scope and connections between substance use and HIV and discuss key considerations and strategies for serving people living with HIV. While part two of the series will be a collaborative learning lab session on developing and expanding programs that serve people living with HIV.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This webinar will serve as a collaborative learning lab for participants. It will provide a brief review of the principles of a pilot program followed by a series of breakout discussions and exercises. These will include a logic model building exercise for a potential pilot program, case study discussions about establishing and expanding services, and a peer learning discussion opportunity to share best practices and lessons learned.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the learning lab, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the principles of establishing a pilot program
  2. Describe the process for assembling a logic model
  3. Prepare for opportunities to implement pilot programs
  4. Relate best practices and lessons learned shared by peers
