RETURN THIS COPY 951.598 WELD COUNTY REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS PREVENTION OF HIV COMMUNITY IDENTIFICATION PROCESS A. CONTENT 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION: The Weld County Health Department (WCHD)is a public health agency providing services to residents of Weld County from Erie to the Wyoming border. The agency has satellite sites outside of Greeley in 15 locations, allowing the provision of monthly outreach and home visitation to the most remote areas of the county. The Department's community health services range from well child check-ups to well oldster clinics, fielding over 10,000 client visits per year. Specific to the scope of this project, WCHD provides STD screening and prevention services and began offering HIV services and community education in the 1980's through school policy and a CTS site. At this time, WCHD offers HIV screening at several satellite sites around the county(including the University of Northern Colorado, Fort Lupton, and a local outpatient treatment center for addicted teens) and houses the Northern Colorado Regional Coordinator position providing case managed services for people with AIDS in the area. Beginning in the fall of 1995, WCHD will become the third ATS in the state. We anticipate the number of high risk individuals utilizing this service will increase by a significant amount, thus increasing WCHD's access to this population for outreach and education. WCHD plays a lead role in coordinating community awareness projects as the Co-Chair of the Weld County AIDS Coalition (WCAC). Additionally, WCHD maintains membership in the Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP). The HIV education program works with area treatment centers, residential programs for youth at risk and homeless women, family planning service providers and county correctional facilities to provide HIV risk reduction education and to promote the development of HIV policy. The Health Promotion Section of WCHD, which houses the HIV education program, is strongly committed to community involvement in program planning. The section has received grants from Colorado Action for Healthy People, March of Dimes, and the Kellogg Foundation to work with small rural communities in performing assessment and developing community appropriate prevention programs. The section also houses a Health Data Specialist responsible for the collection and evaluation of critical health indicator data at the local and state level_ Because of the services WCHD provides, we are in an excellent position to provide outreach to youth at high risk, high risk women, and individuals with multiple partners. Additionally, our relationship with the two community health centers in Weld County and the Monfort Family Planning/Prenatal program have allowed us to develop networks with the Migrant Seasonal Farmworker population. We have been pleased with the results of these efforts to date. Despite offering HIV services, we continue to feel that we are less able to identify and reach community members who are using injection drugs and men having sex with men (including men of color). It is for this reason that the Community Identification Process is important to the Weld County community. 951598 2. TARGET POPULATION: For the last several years, WCI-ID as been operating on assumptions about the target population in this community. It is becoming increasingly clear that these assumptions are misconstrued and are no longer serviceable. WCHD will seek to serve the highest priority populations, as defined by CWT, in Weld County. These will be: Women at Risk, IDUs and Their Partners, Runaway/Displaced Youth Who Trade Sex for Survival, and Migrant Seasonal Farm Workers. The target population for this project will include diverse groups of individuals and agencies who are committed to improving awareness of the ways to avoid HIV/AIDS infection in Weld County. This diversity offers both a challenge and opportunity to enhance collaboration between WCHD and agencies in HIV/AIDS prevention strategies. Women of child bearing age at risk comprise a risk group for which we have exceptionally high hopes of developing future interventions. Women have primarily been infected through drug abuse or by being sex partners of drug abusers. Women of child bearing age have the potential of becoming infected themselves and of infecting any children they might bear. According to 1993 data, the live birth rate for Weld County was 16.9 and the fertility rate was 69.4 which higher than the state average. Many women are unaware that they are at risk for HIV infection and HIV infected women are often undiagnosed until they become ill or bear an infected ill child. HIV education and prevention needs to be a part of every woman's self-care. The incidence of AIDS and HIV infection has been greater among Hispanics and Blacks than any other ethnic minority groups. 38% of Weld County's population is Hispanic, a number of whom are part of the transient migrant working population. IV drug use is the second most common transmission of the HIV virus. Drug users who engage in unprotected sexual activity may infect their sexual partners, contributing to the spread of the virus of the non-drug using population. Use of alcohol and non-injection drugs is associated with sexual risk taking. All alcohol and drug treatment programs are expected to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. In Weld County 13.2% of HIV tests are IDUs or sex partner's of IDUs. Of those tested for HIV in 1993 in Weld County, 18% admitted to IDU or having a sex partner that was an IDU. Weld County's Health Data Specialist emphised that this data is based on self-collected data which means these numbers are actually much lower than probably true. It is believed that because WCHD has a CTS, many high risk individuals were testing at sites outside of Weld County. The geographical community targeted is Weld County. Weld County ranks as Colorado's third largest geographical county with 4033 square miles and it is eighth largest in terms of population. WCHD HIV Prevention Program Coordinator will seek out key informants within the high target populations. These leaders will participate and/or recruit other leaders of these groups, to be involved in focusgroups and other CIP strategies. Agencies who provide services to target populations will also be involved in the CIP process. These agencies will provide additional insight as how to increase awareness to high target population, what areas of HIV prevention are lacking, and how to improve and more efficiently provide already 951598 existing education. By involving these agencies it is expected that new relationships will evolve and existing ones will become stronger inspiring more collaborative efforts. Agencies in the county which will be contacted include by are not limited to: substance abuse programs such as; Island Grove Outpatient and Residential Treatment Centers and Alpha; Weld County HIV Resource Coordinator and their clients; WCAC; Interfaith Support Group; Hospice of Northern Colorado; NCAP; UNC Cultural Centers; UNC Women's Center; Sunrise Community Health Center; Salud; other healthcare providers; UNC LGBA; correctional facilities including: Restitution Center; new juvenile detention center and the Weld County Jail; Transitional House; A Woman's Place: and other key informants who emerge during the CIP process. Interagency and community collaboration are strong components of service delivery in Weld County. Collaborative efforts made over time have stemmed in large part from the fact that Weld County is a rural community with a relatively sparse and diffuse population and a scarcity of providers. WCHD has provided general HIV prevention to residence of the county for seven years. WCHD has provided educational materials including pamphlets, brochures, and videos. As the major provider of HIV services, WCHD's CTS Resource Coordination Mangers both expressed frustration with not knowing the exact number of people in high target populations or how to go about accessing the high target populations. CIP will be utilized to identify access points to derive information about the target population in Weld County 3. OBJECTIVES: The interventions WCHD has taken are all steps toward reaching objectives as described in Weld County Health Objectives for the Year 2000 Public Planning Document. By December 31, 1996, WCHD will complete a community identification process among residents of Weld County. This process will be completed for the purpose of targeting HIV education and prevention program resources. To accomplish this objective, the WCHD HIV education program will: 1. Review Weld County indicator data to determine the prevalence and distribution of HIV in Weld County by November 31, 1995. 2. Facilitation of focus groups and key informant interview (at least two of each) will have been held by 10-31-95_ The purpose of these activities is to identify major issues and other key players within high target populations. Initial results will be used to develop an indept CIP plan. WCHD will identify agencies and key informants to most appropriately represent high target populations of Weld County in the CIP process. These agencies and individuals will include: Weld County HIV Resource Coordinator clients, substance abuse programs as described in #2 TARGET POPULATIONS, Sunrise Community 951.598 Health Center, WCAC, NCAP, UNC Cultural Centers, UNC LGBA, HIV support roups, Salud, A Women's Place, STD clinics, Monfort, Planned Parenthood etc. High target population opinion leaders will be trained to lead focus groups and key informant interview. This training will allow CIP to be lead by community representatives. 3. Host joint meeting of providers of services to migrant seasonal farm workers to identify HIV prevention needs and issues by October 31, 1995. Outcomes of this meeting will be used to develop a coordinated plan for migrant seasonal worker HIV prevention services in 1996. 4. OPERATIONAL PLAN: The following steps will be done to insure that the objective for CIP from September to December 1995 is accomplished.

EVALTIATION PLAN: Because of the work to be accomplished during the funding period, -evaluation will-be primarily of process, measuring whether each activity was completed correctly-and on time. Additionally, the process evaluation creates a mechanism where by community involvement in the process will be insured. Accomplishment of strategy one will be measured by the completion of the indicator review and the completion of draft recommendations. The summery-report will be submitted to CDPHEI-IIV/STD Program at the end of the 1-995 funding period. Successful completion of strategy-two will be measured by completion of the two key informant interviews and two focus groups. Results of the assessment and recommendations will be submitted to CDPI-IE HIV/STD Program at the end of the 1995 funding period. Recommendations for these interviews and participation in them will be used to-further develop community involvement in the CIP process- 251598 Successful completion of strategy three will be measured by the completion of a strategic planning effort between agency providers of migrant health services. Ideally the development of a coalition of providers completing an HIV prevention plan will result. Outcome of this collaborative effort will be reported to CDPHE HIV/STD Program in the end of the funding period report. Additionally this • outcome will be used to develop a comprehensive HIV prevention plan for Weld County migrant seasonal farm workers. 6.
