Introduction • Partnership for Health is an intervention aimed at every ACHC patient. It is to promote safer sex practices condom negotiation skills) and to identify referrals for individual with high risk sex practice • Other DEBI* include: voces/voices, mental health • Unique DEBI intervention: • ACHC uses peer educators and outreach workers to engage patients during their clinic visits. They encourage and engage patients to review PfH materials that are available in the waiting rooms and re-inforce the prevention messages. • ACHC has also re-designed education materials to be more visible and portable (PfH content was NOT changed) • ACHC has also made available 3 safer sex education kits, which are located in clinic interview rooms, to assist inproviding hands-on learning (male and female condoms) *DEBI: diffusion of effective behavioral intevention

So, how do these process, outcomes and intervention change the STD transmission?
Thoughts from this experience • Need county-wide clinics initiative and buy in • PfH should be at every clinic • Patient reporting accuracy (underreporting of % condom use) • Patient reporting fatigue (“just say yes to all”) • Providers intervention at every follow up visit (clinical staff buy in)
Changes and modifications • Re-design templates • Re-assign questioning role to Medical Assistants • Need to easily “query” the data • Bi-annual audits to track and trend • PDSA
