PIH Accompagnateur Curriculum

Started by Joia Mukherjee, MD, MPH on 07 Nov 2008

This is the curriculum we have developed with both participant and facilitators guides it has been piloted in Haiti and Rwanda and is being translated into Sesotho and Chichewa as well.

The integration of Community Health Workers (Accompagnateurs) into the Partners in Health HIV program results in higher than average patient adherence and retention rates. The PIH Accompagnateur training curriculum can be found at the link above. It covers the following topics:

    * Treatment, prevention, side effects, and risk factors for HIV, TB, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other infectious diseases
    * The roles and responsibilities of accompagnateurs
    * Challenges faced by accompagnateurs and ways of dealing with them
    * The impact of HIV/AIDS on women
    * Recognizing and reducing stigma and discrimination
    * Effective communication and psychosocial support

We welcome feedback so please discuss this resource as needed.
