Abstract

SUMMARY 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 needs. 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 WomensLink model in meeting its goals of caring for women living with HIV and their families.
