The guide is designed for individuals and committees who set HIV prevention priorities. Each chapter includes a list of priority setting tasks to complete with the relevant portion of a priority-setting scenario to illustrate the process. At the end of each chapter worksheets are provided to help you carry out the tasks.

Self-Assessment Tool for HIV Prevention Community Planning (May 1995)
Available at www.hivaidsta.org
Link to non-governmental site and does not necessarily represent the views of the CDC.
This assessment tool developed by AED, is designed to accomplish two specific objectives: (1) To provide community planning groups with a practical, easy-to-use- instrument to assess and enhance their community planning process; and (2) To assist community planning groups in identifying their needs for technical assistance. The individual sections of this assessment tool correspond to major planning tasks as defined in the Guidance on HIV Prevention Community Planning. Each section can be used independently — if your CPG wishes to assess progress in areas related to PIR, the CPG needs to complete only that section of the tool. Or your CPG can complete all the sections to explore the major components of the overall planning process.

What Intervention Studies Say About Effectiveness: A Resource for HIV Prevention Community Planning Groups (May 1996)
Available at www.hivaidsta.org
Link to non-governmental site and does not necessarily represent the views of the CDC.
This document developed by AED, has been prepared specifically to help planning groups in using behavioral science more effectively. The document focuses on demonstrated effectiveness of interventions – one of the core considerations in HIV prevention community planning. The studies included in the document are not the only important studies, nor do they provide a comprehensive view of the evaluation literature. They do, however, represent a range of interventions, a diversity of target populations, and a mix of research designs. Examples have been selected for their utility to planning group deliberations and for their evaluation approach.

Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness (November 1999)
The Compendium was developed for prevention service providers, planners, and others who require science-based interventions that work. This document provides summaries of state-of-the-science interventions with evidence of reducing sex- and/or drug-related risks and the rate of HIV/’STD infections. These interventions have been effective with a variety of populations, e.g., clinic patients, heterosexual men and women, high-risk youth, incarcerated populations, injection drug users, and men who have sex with men. They have been delivered to individuals, groups, and communities in settings such as storefronts, gay bars, health centers, housing communities, and schools. To be included in the Compendium, an intervention had to come from a behavioral or social study that had both intervention and control/comparison groups and positive results for behavioral or health outcomes.
