Updated ECHPP Website & Resources
The Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) Project is a 3-year demonstration project funded by CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), for the 12 municipalities with the highest number of people living with AIDS in the United States. As part of the response to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), the ECHPP project supports the 12 Cities Project which is directed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
DHAP recently released an updated ECHPP website and resources. The following content has been added to a new section of the website called “Reports:”
  • Promising Practices
  • Year One
An overview of ECHPP’s evaluation description and process has also been added to the website.
For more information regarding these new ECHPP resources, please see below.
The Promising Practices webpage provides policy and planning activities implemented by the 12 ECHPP grantees during their first program year. The page showcases valuable promising practices that successfully addressed national HIV prevention goals. Five categories of practices are described and each description is followed by examples from the ECHPP jurisdictions.
The Year One findings webpage summarizes aggregate quantitative programmatic data reported by ECHPP grantees during their first program year, including overall progress made toward local ECHPP program objectives from October 2010 to September 2011.
And, lastly, an Evaluation webpage has been added which provides an overview of the systems-level evaluation approach being used for ECHPP. It also includes key questions and indicators for process, outcome, and impact level data.
We hope that you find these resources helpful and appreciate your continued HIV prevention efforts.
