Thailand (2006): Risk Assessment Survey: Members of Sisters Drop-in Center (Transgenders)

1) To monitor risk behavior related to sexual practices of Sisters drop-in members periodically (every 6 months). 2) To monitor the effectiveness of drop-in centers in terms of behavior change interventions. Data were collected from 48 members (the total number of members was 80 at the time of survey) at the drop-in center in Pattaya. The data collection period was 2 weeks. The risk assessment form was self-administered and its content complemented the questions used for TRaCs: the same format for scales was used (6-point scale), and significant Opportunity, Ability and Motivation (OAM) factors from the TRaC were explored. Simple frequencies were run for data analysis. In subsequent survey rounds, when possible and when sample sizes permit, advanced analysis techniques will be used and will follow PSI's dashboard analysis process. In addition, once the management information system (MIS) is available, data from both sources will be integrated to evaluate an impact of drop-in center activities on behavior and some OAM factors that were significant in TRaCs.
