Data Considerations

These data can not be compared with previous Title I, II, III, IV, or Title IV/Youth Initiative data. In previous years, HRSA/HAB used separate, Title-specific data systems to collect client and service information from RWCA grantees and providers. Providers who received funding from multiple RWCA sources were required to complete separate data reporting forms for each Title-funding they received. Under the new CADR reporting system, all providers, even those who are multiply-funded, complete one CADR, and report on all clients served regardless of funding source. This provides HRSA/HAB with a comprehensive understanding of how RWCA funds are being used to deliver health care services to families living with and affected by HIV disease.

Ryan White CARE Act providers have the option of reporting on eligible or funded services[1]. When they report on eligible services, providers are reporting on any service permitted under any Title of the CARE Act, regardless of whether or not the providers use a specific Title to pay for these services. Conversely, if providers report on funded services, the data they report only includes those services that were actually paid for using CARE Act funds. Reporting eligible services provides a comprehensive picture of the services being delivered to HIV-positive clients.

The utility of CADR data is limited by duplicated client counts. CADR data as collected and reported by individual providers are generally unduplicated. However, since an individual client may receive services from more than one provider, there is no way of knowing that the counts of individuals served by one provider are not also included in the counts of another service provider. Thus, aggregating provider data to the national level result in duplicate client counts.

Clients served include all individuals who had at least one visit for any eligible service provided by a Title III EIS provider during the reporting period, regardless of additional funding source.

An affected client is a family member or partner of an infected client who received case management or other supportive services during the calendar year. Affected clients include those who are HIV negative as well as those with unknown HIV status. Affected clients include those receiving Title I and II Early Intervention Services. Affected family members of HIV positive patients are served under Title IV.

“New” clients include clients whose first receipt of services from the provider agency occurred during the reporting period.
Since these data are aggregated at the national or grantee level, clients that may have been new to one provider could be continuing services to another service provider.

Revisions to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Directive 15, which provides recommendations to Federal agencies on standardized procedures for collecting and reporting race and ethnicity data, resulted in a change in the way CARE Act program data on race and ethnicity were collected in 2003. In accordance with OMB recommendations, providers were asked to report the number of unduplicated clients who identify themselves as Hispanic or Latino/a, regardless of race. Providers were then asked to report the number of unduplicated clients in each of six racial groups. Clients reported as Hispanic or Latino/a in the previous item were to be accounted for in the question about race. At the provider level, this allows for the distinction between persons identifying with, for example, Hispanic ethnicity/origin, African-American race and Hispanic ethnicity/origin, White race. Due to the fact that CADR data are aggregated they cannot be combined to determine the proportion of minority clients served.
