This article examines the role of technical assistance (TA) in supporting the replication of proven HIV interventions. Effective interventions have now been identified across a spectrum of risky behaviors, including unsafe sex, violence, and alcohol and other substance use. The provision of TA helps new users overcome obstacles and encourages ownership and integration of the innovation into practice. The HIV prevention community is increasingly recognizing the role of TA in disseminating knowledge and best practices to communities to improve services at the local level. As an increasing number of effective HIV prevention interventions have been identified, an important component of TA has been the dissemination of information on the types of interventions that work best and under what circumstances. Before getting started, agencies needed guidance to understand how, where, and for whom the intervention would be implemented and to mobilize the support needed for smooth and continued delivery. Although TA requirements may differ according to the characteristics of the intervention, the types of TA provided across the REP interventions were strikingly similar. |
