SUMMARY:Data to Action: Using Data to Initiate and Inform HIV/STI Client Services and Public Health Response
DESCRIPTION:Join Alive! Maryland\, led by HealthHIV\, on Wednesday\, November 29\, 2023 at 12:00pm Eastern for a webinar that will illuminate how HIV/STI surveillance and program data are used to initiate and inform client services and public health response. \nAfter defining “data to action” and reviewing the core data sources in Maryland\, attendees will learn how data reporting and analysis lead to real-time field services and care engagement support for several groups of people: those newly diagnosed with HIV or syphilis\, those living with HIV who may not be fully engaged in HIV medical care\, and those who may benefit from HIV/STI testing\, treatment\, and prevention services. Faculty also will discuss core principles of confidentiality and person-first services\, review how trend and network analysis inform public health response\, and emphasize how clients\, providers\, and community members are key partners in HIV/STI data to action. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe data to action as a public health strategy and Maryland’s data to action activities.\nIdentify the role of HIV/STI surveillance data and other core data sources in data to action.\nExplain methods for implementing client- and community-level data to action that ensure confidentiality and reduce stigma.\nState how clients\, providers\, and community members can partner with public health efforts to achieve the goals of HIV/STI data to action.

SUMMARY:Uniting for Health: Engaging Latino/a/x Faith-Based Organizations in HIV Prevention
DESCRIPTION:In minority communities\, faith often unifies individuals across socioeconomic status\, educational levels\, and other social factors. In particular\, people look to faith leaders in their community with trust and respect. Secular organizations that address HIV prevention can share common goals with faith-based organizations (FBOs)\, and therefore it is important for secular organizations to work collaboratively with FBOs and faith leaders in order to reach people who are disproportionately affected by HIV. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Alive! Maryland and HealthHIV on Friday\, October 6\, 2023 at 1:00pm Eastern for a webinar that will discuss engagement with Latino/a/x faith groups and organizations. The faculty will give an overview of Latino/a/x-focused FBOs in Maryland\, explore the personal assessment process as well as the development of strategic religious engagement plans\, and provide various resources. Participants will also learn strategies for effectively forming mutually beneficial relationships with diverse Latino/a/x faith groups in order to further their HIV prevention work. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDefine Strategic Religious Engagement and other key terms inherent within diverse faith cultures\nList at least three prevalent faith groups within the Latinx community\nDiscuss common challenges at the intersection of Faith and HIV\nList at least three resources for ongoing engagement capacity development\nDevelop a Strategic Religious Engagement plan
