Abstract

PROTOTYPES WomensLink was developed to meet the needs of women living with HIV in greater Los Angeles, California. At the WomensLink drop-in center, women select the program components in which to participate, reflecting their unique medical and psychosocial 164needs. Although this service model poses a number of challenges to program evaluation, including those related to evaluation design and implementation, it presents new opportunities for successful collaborations between community-based programs and applied researchers. This paper discusses a number of such issues and provides selected evaluation results that demonstrate the success of the Womens-Link model in meeting its goals of caring for women living with HIV and their families.
