Project implementation Project is run in 3 facilities. • Kontaktní centrum (Drop-in) • Terénní programy (Outreach) • CADAS (Substitution and Detox) • Project management and coordination • Every 14 days we have regular coordination meetings of whole project ImpAcT team • Central office responsible for overal management and • Project local manager responsible for implementation
Project implementationIn every facility… • one responsible person for ImpAcT. implementation • Key workers responsible for data collection/entry • combining the two roles (researcher and nurse or social worker) • anamnestic data from the questionnaire used for pre and post test counselling • reward (meal ticket) increase motivation of clients for testing - especially in case of retesting • cooperation with two other low threshold drug services • prohibition from the city (District Prague 2) to place the ambulance to another drug sites • increase in the number of tests - from 50 to more than 100 per month
Failures • low number of clients from risk regions (post Soviet, Vietnam) • closed hard reached groups • out of contact with services • it should be extra project oriented just for reaching these groups • 0 HIV and 0 TB positive clients – is it „failure“? • Low number of clients recommended for TB confirmation reach the specialised unit
Successes • increasing HIV provided test (2010 just 123 tests per a year, in Impact we predicted 950 tests) • shortening periods between tests – before Impact average period between test was 3 years (more than 10% clients were retested, in the end of project will be higher percent) • 109 clients were tested on HIV for the first time • started cooperation with TB clinic and start to monitoring TB clinical symptoms • parallel with impact we test also on HCV and syphilis - we found 232 HCV and 16 syphilis. • we started to use user friendly on-line questionnaire – it makes data collection easier
