SYNOPSIS
OF
WELD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
HIV PREVENTION GRANTS FOR 1996
Grant #1 - Public Information
Public information programs target the general population as well as specific populations and seek
to dispel myths about HIV transmission, support volunteerism for HIV prevention programs, reduce
discrimination toward persons with HIV/AIDS, and promote support for strategies and interventions
that contribute to HIV prevention in the community. Through the use of promotional tactics, such
as hotlines, Public information programs can offer support and referrals, lead to increased knowledge
of HIV/AIDS facts, and may lead to behavior change.
The target population for this proposal is recognized as all residents of Weld County, whether at high,
low, or not at risk for HIV infection. This grant will continue to support the efforts of the Weld
County AIDS Coalition. This coalition is representative of Weld County's population. Through the
funds awarded, WCHD and WCAC will continue to provide educational informative presentations
to community organizations, UNC classes, businesses, schools, church and youth groups etc.
An amount of $13845.94. This award will cover expenses of one program coordinator to work 12
hours a week, one office technician to work 5 hours a week, educational supplies, travel, conferences,
training sessions, memberships, and office supplies.
Grant #2 - Group Risk Reduction Interventions
The focus of group risk -reduction education is to provide not only knowledge, but also motivation,
skills, and support for initiating and maintaining safer sexual behaviors. Risk -reduction education
occurs in small -group settings with 5 to 20 participants. Through this proposal WCHD ensures that
educators receive on -going training in issues we present educational methods, content, and length of
presentations are appropriate to the target audience. We provide educational materials, referralsto
appropriate services, and interpersonal skills training and support in negotiating and maintaining safer
sexual behavior. Appropriate services which we will reach through this grant include but are not
limited to substance abuse treatment, HIV counseling and testing, family planning services, STD
testing, risk reduction or relapse prevention counseling, tuberculosis testing, women's health services,
and HIV early intervention services.
Our target population for this scope of work will continue to be women and youth at risk. We have
served these target populations for the last three years. Grant reward will be approximately
$13,536.31. This will cover the cost of one program coordinator at 10 hours a week, one office
technician at 5 hours a week, travel, educational supplies, office supplies, etc.
952243
Grant #3 - Community level interventions
Community level interventions seek to change the attitudes, norms, values and environmental factors
of an entire community at risk through health communications, prevention marketing, community
mobilization/organization, community -wide events, and environmental facilitation of safer sex
behavior through provisions of appropriate materials. Community level intervention programs
include evaluations through interviews and focus groups with community members of the target
population and persons who work with or relate to this community. This information is then used
to develop the interventions. Community members at all levels will be enlisted to participate in some
capacity in the delivery and reinforcement of the intervention.
For the scope of work intended with this proposal our target population is women at risk. This will
augment work to be completed with women at risk through group level interventions. However, the
intended goal of this reward will be that more women at risk of child bearing age will understand the
necessity and importance of agreeing to an HIV test.
Grant reward will be approximately $10,328.58. This will cover the cost of one program coordinator
at 8 hours a week, travel, training sessions, educational supplies, office supplies, etc.
Grant #4 - Community Identification Process (CIP)
The goal of community identification project is to identify, baseline norms, values, and shared
meanings that influence behavior within a specific target community. This knowledge is the
foundation on which effective messages and strategies are built. Understanding where and when to
access the community by learning about the social networks will enhance the ability to intervene most
effectively.
The CIP will result in plans for full implementation of appropriate HIV prevention interventions and
will include: access points into the target populations, peer network recruitment strategies, venues
geographically close to the target population, intervention media and materials, and the number of
networks needed to adequately saturate the target populations. This information will be readily
available to agencies interested in working with the target populations.
Our target population for this grant will be seasonal migrant farm workers. This is a population
WCHD has worked with through different programs, in the past. However, we have not reached the
number of Hispanics at risk of contracting HIV that we would like. This project will allow us to
develop research to adequately find where they are and how to most appropriate provide them with
HIV educational interventions to reduce their risk of HIV infection.
Grant reward will be approximately $22,383.00. This will cover the cost of one program coordinator
at 20 hours a week, one office technician at 10 hours a week, travel, educational supplies, meeting
expenses, evaluation forms, focus groups, key informants, office supplies, etc.

Attached are signature pages and summaries for the 1996 HIV education program
funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This funding
will continue the existing HIV education program at the Health Department. Due
to changes in the application process from both the CDC and CDPHE, we are
required to submit applications for each area in which we plan to work in 1996,
thus four "grants" and four signature pages.
The Public Information component will provide information to the general public
on the Prevention of HIV through public presentations, a hotline and educational
events. This component will utilize the HIV educator for 12 hours and an OT II
for 5 hours a week. Total component request: $ 13,845.94.
The Group Risk Reduction component will increase knowledge and HIV prevention
skills primarily among women and youth at risk. This will be accomplished
through education in facilities providing services to youth and women at risk.
Among them, treatment, residential programs and corrections. This component will
utilize the HIV educator 10 hours and an OT II for 5 hours per week. Total
component request: $ 13,536.31.
The Community Level Intervention component will focus increasing community
awareness of the importance of HIV screening for women at risk Women of child
bearing age and their health care providers will be the primary focus of this
component. Health care providers will be trained to educate women on their risk
factors and to refer women at risk for HIV screening. The component will utilize
the HIV educator 8 hours per week. Total component request: $ 10,328.58.
The Community Identification Process (CIP) component will provide funding for
WCHD to reassess the needs, baseline norms and accessibility of migrant seasonal
farm workers for HIV education and prevention programs in Weld County. The CIP
process will allow for adequate and appropriate future planning. The results of
this process will also be available to other community agencies working with the
same target population. The component will utilize the HIV educator 20 hours and
an OT II 10 hours per week. Total component request: $ 22,383.00.
These projects reflect our continued effort to improve our HIV prevention
programs at the WCHD.
