Project Description

RTI International implemented a pilot study of its skills enhancement training guide that addresses the intersecting risks of contracting HIV/AIDS among women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV). The overall goal of the project was to improve service delivery for domestic violence victims/survivors at risk for HIV/AIDS. This goal was accomplished by cross-training HIV and domestic violence professionals on strategies to address the intersection between HIV and violence when working with their clients, which in turn improved skills, messaging, and services among professionals. The study included training, technical assistance and program evaluation at four HIV/AIDS and four IPV service organizations around the United States. Following the completion of training, RTI conducted a process evaluation to collect information about the training and its delivery. This process evaluation plan informed OWH on the successes and barriers of training implementation and informed future use of the skills enhancement training guide with HIV/AIDS and IPV service providers.
