title: Changes in service delivery following HIV/AIDS education of medical and mental health service providers: results of a one-year follow-up.
abstract: This study examined changes in service delivery patterns of health and mental health service providers one year after a training on the fundamentals of HIV/AIDS and mental health. Paired t-tests for 424 training recipients showed significant increases in delivery of HIV-related services, and these remained significant while controlling for additional training, job changes, region (urban, rural, suburban), and provider discipline. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significantly greater likelihood of providing direct services to HIV+ individuals among male providers, those with more years of HIV experience, those in counseling disciplines, and those working in a new job since the training.
