“…Our research supports the assertions of others who have emphasized the potential value of LHD-FBO partnerships 47,48 and of local public health system partnerships, in general, to promote community health. 49 Using the program logic model as a strategic roadmap, and applying the portability materials to support operational execution, a robust potential would appear to exist for replication of the model elsewhere.…”

“…It was apparent that congregants had previously had few opportunities to interact closely with health department personnel or other public health experts of whom to ask factual questions about HIV. This is consistent with prior research, which has found that most of the partnering organizations involved in congregational health activities are non-profit prevention and social service providers and not local health departments or other government public health agencies (Werber, Derose, Domínguez, & Mata, 2012; Zahner & Corrado, 2004). …”

HIV-related stigma negatively affects prevention and care, and community-based interventions are needed. Here we describe the development of a multi-ethnic, faith-based intervention to reduce HIV stigma that included: educational workshops on HIV, testing, and stigma; peer leader workshops using role plays and drawing on principles of motivational interviewing; a pastor-delivered sermon on HIV that incorporated theological reflection and an imagined contact scenario; and congregation-based HIV testing events. Lessons learned include: partnership development is essential and requires substantial investment; tailoring intervention components to single race-ethnic groups may not be preferable in diverse community settings; and adapting testing processes to be able to serve larger numbers of people in shorter time frames is needed for congregational settings. This development process successfully combined the rigorous application of social science theory and community engagement to yield a multifaceted HIV stigma reduction intervention appropriate for Protestant and Catholic churches in African American and Latino communities.

“…Faith communities' health initiatives generally focus on general health maintenance, chronic disease prevention, and tobacco use prevention. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Some small-scale HIV prevention initiatives are described, [18][19][20] as are significant barriers to involvement in HIV prevention (eg, resource constraints, training needs, stigma). [20][21][22] The roles of values, religious doctrines, and beliefs explain the reluctance of many faith communities to become involved in HIV prevention.…”

In the United States, racial/ethnic health disparities persist across all leading health indicators. In 2005, African Americans accounted for half of all HIV/AIDS cases, but only 12 percent of the US population was African American. Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the New York State Department of Health, AIDS Institute recognized the importance of faith communities' involvement in HIV prevention. A survey assessed faith community involvement in HIV prevention, identified barriers to involvement, and determined willingness to partner with HIV prevention programs. Although less than 25 percent of respondents reported involvement in HIV prevention, 50 percent were willing to meet with service providers. Those willing to meet included 74 percent of faith leaders with primarily African American congregants. On the basis of the survey and subsequent forums, a statewide initiative was created to involve faith communities in HIV prevention. An assessment of the statewide initiative showed that it has been highly effective in engaging faith community involvement, including a large number of African American faith communities. These findings have implications for future programming and can aid to further strengthen the statewide initiative.
