6 Feb 2019

All panelists provided a brief summary of the testing technology they used and how it works; described the service delivery model they implemented for their testing approach, reflecting on which populations they were trying to reach, and discussed the goodness of fit between the technology they used and the service delivery model they developed. [...] Panelists spoke to the importance of investing time at the beginning of the project to engage and train all staff to provide a sensitive and respectful experience to clients. [...] Frame the message appropriately, in a manner that is adapted to the community and respects the level of knowledge of that community. [...] Not everyone is at the same level of knowledge and it is important to be mindful of the way the message is received by the community. [...] Peers are among the best allies to bridge health care providers and communities and promote engagement to testing and care, especially for populations that have a history of oppression and lack trust in the system.
