Men returning from prison are at a very high risk for HIV infection and/or substance abuse, especially since a majority of Alabama's inmates are substance abusers. The project will use an advisory committee that will include African-American ex-offenders to develop services that are effective and culturally relevant to the target population. Planning activities will include focus groups, interviews with experts, assessment surveys, literature reviews, interviews with offenders inside and outside prison, and visits to successful prevention programs in similar communities. The final stage of the planning process will be the development of a strategic implementation plan that will be submitted to CSAP and other funding sources. | ||
