Grant Title: Indiana HIV Advocacy Program.

Project Period: 10/94-09/96.

Description: Program will target African-Americans and men who have sex with men to increase their utilization of advocacy services and, therefore, reduce barriers to health care access and discriminatory practices encountered in health care settings, employment, housing, public accommodations, governmental services, criminal justice, social/domestic relations, and insurance. The model will provide education to reduce HIV discrimination by employers and health care providers, coupled with skills building to increase the capacity of consumers and consumer advocates to redress HIV-related bias. Primary objectives of the project are assistance in enforcing state and federal anti-discrimination laws and development of a grass roots coalition through which to influence public policy decision making. Increased utilization of these advocacy services will reduce barriers to health care access and financing.
