HIV Open Data Project: Office of Minority Health - Curbing HIV/AIDS Transmission Among High Risk Minority Youth and Adolescents by Utilizing a Peer-to-Peer Outreach Model and New Application Technologies (CHAT)

The CHAT Program is intended to ascertain and monitor the effectiveness of collaborative community-based interventions, implemented at the grassroots level, on reducing health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the collaborative partnership approach in supporting ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention/education and testing initiatives aimed at educational settings; juvenile detention facilities; and alternative living arrangements ordered by the courts. The Quarterly Progress Report is used by the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) to review grantee progress made during the reporting quarter in planning and conducting project interventions, evaluating the effectiveness of such interventions, and meeting project and program objectives, as well as to keep abreast of managerial and other project matters related to the grant as needed. Such reports of progress are carefully considered relative to plans for future funding.
