For People Like Us: An HIV/AIDS Participatory Learning Assessment Tool
Johns Hopkins University Health Communication Partnership (JHU/HCP) used this research tool to facilitate discussion among peer groups in Namibian communities to gain insight into the issues and problems that they are dealing with and how these intersect with the HIV/AIDS problem in a community. This process assists a community in identifying ways of responding to the negative social and cultural norms that are fueling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. JHU/HCP was directed by the Ministry of Health and Social Services to perform these assessments in communities where ART services had been established. The assessment is the key activity that lays the foundation for JHU/HCP and the community’s future community mobilization activities (CMA).
