NACCHO's Program in Action

NACCHO is funded to provide Capacity-Building Assistance for Preventing HIV Infections: State and Local Health Agencies.

  • Identifying, funding, and providing technical support to up to three local health department (LHD) demonstration sites for implementation of local action plans in collaboration with the Local Education Agency.
     
  • Facilitating conference calls with pairs of DASH-funded Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and their associated LHDs to identify common objectives and associated opportunities for enhancing collaboration and avoiding duplication of efforts.
     
  • Identifying additional LHDs to provide adolescent HIV/STI and/or unintended pregnancy prevention peer technical assistance, and facilitating peer technical assistance sessions via teleconference and in-person follow-up visits.
     
  • Identifying adolescent-specific tools to include in the NACCHO HIV/STI Toolkit.
     
  • Identifying and sharing HIV and STI prevention model and promising practices, procedures, and programs through NACCHO’s Share What Works: NACCHO Model and Promising Practices database.
     
  • Providing Web casts to enhance LHD capacity to reach adolescents at highest risk of HIV infection.
     
  • Conducting an external evaluation of NACCHO’s DASH-funded Adolescent HIV/STI Prevention Project to determine the extent to which the project has met its stated goals and to identity other unintended positive or negative outcomes resulting from project activities.
