This article describes the authors' approach to introducing a behavioral counseling intervention into a local health department STD clinic setting. The goal of the intervention was to change the sexual practices of clients with STDs. The project was a collaborative effort with a local health department, school of public health, and a community training organization. The authors used an organizational change framework for implementing the intervention.
