title: Evaluation and technical assistance for successful HIV program delivery.
abstract: Agencies that provide HIV prevention programs (including agencies using science-based interventions) need to conduct evaluation to facilitate the transfer of effective interventions, provide ongoing assistance to intervention providers, document services provided, demonstrate effectiveness, and improve programs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assists health departments, community-based organizations, and other CDC grantees with evaluation by providing direct, customized technical assistance and written guidance. Together, these activities assist grantees in conducting evaluations that provide the information that grantees need as their programs develop.
