Proposed Project: HIV/AIDS Prevention and Support Service for Women 
Partners of Incarcerated/Recently Released Men--OMB No. 0990-New- 
Office of Women's Health

    Abstract: The mission of the Office on Women's Health (OWH) is to 
provide leadership to promote health equity for women and girls through 
sex/gender-specific approaches. To that end, OWH has established 
public/private partnerships to address critical women's health issues 
nationwide including cooperative agreements awarded to eight community-
based organizations in 2009 to design and implement innovative and 
gender responsive HIV prevention programs to meet the unique risks and 
needs of women within their communities who have currently incarcerated 
or recently released male partners (``women partners''). The 
information presented in this evaluation study is needed to determine 
the overarching outcomes of the set of the eight programs. The three-
year study will include quantitative data collected at three time 
points, intervention baseline, post-intervention, and 30 day follow-up. 
The study will also include qualitative data collected through focus 
groups facilitated with program participants at each of the eight 
program sites, as well as interviews with one to two key intervention 
staff at each of the program sites.
