BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Health Services HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Program provides medical case management services and other support services for approximately 800 people living with HIV/AIDS every year. In order to keep the program’s services relevant and useful to clients, we are conducting focus groups to get more in-depth feedback on ways to improve and better meet the needs of our clients. The data collected from focus groups will be used to design “patient-centered” quality improvement plans. The funding will provide food and a gift card incentive to clients to encourage attendance at our focus groups.
