Grant Title: Expanding Access to Health Care Services for Hispanic HIV-Infected /STD Patients by Promoting Early Intervention, Screening, and Counseling Among Hispanic Physicians.
Project Period: 10/94-09/97.
Description: The project is a collaborative effort between the Interamerican College of Physicians and Surgeons (ICPS), Bellevue Hospital Medical Center and the Department of Dermatology at NYU School of Medicine. ICPS proposes to expand access to health care services for HIV-infected Hispanic populations by increasing, through training, the number of Hispanic health care providers active in screening, testing, counseling and managing their patients at risk or already HIV infected. Individualized training will be provided to each of the 90 physician trainees in their private offices and an in-hospital training session will be held at Bellevue Hospital Medical Center. Physicians will be assigned to intervention and control groups in randomized research trial with a post-test intervention and a case study design involving 5% of randomly selected subjects.
