Inclusion Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria for Sampling AIDS Care Settings: Our goal in sampling is to identify
and recruit the kinds of organizations that might ultimately be targets for Phase IV
trials and other Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center dissemination efforts. For
purposes of this research, we define an "AIDS Care Setting" as any setting which:

- Provides primary medical care, case management, day treatment, mental health or
substance use treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS.

- Includes two or more full-time professional staff (e.g., social workers, nurses,
clergy, physicians, or psychologists) with primary responsibility for an HIV/AIDS
population.

- Has an active caseload of at least 50 people with HIV/AIDS.

- Has been in operation as an HIV/AIDS provider for at least two years.

- Has leadership and staff who are agreeable to participate in the work plan outlined
in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Inclusion Criteria for Providers:

- Working as an administrator of HIV/AIDS care services, or a direct provider of
services to HIV+ patients/clients.

- Working at the agency for at least 6 months.

- Working at the agency at least 20 hours a week.

- Able to converse in English or Spanish.

- Identified by agency leadership as staff who meet above criteria and can be
approached, or want to volunteer to be interviewed.

Inclusion Criteria for Sampling Patients/Clients:

- Identified as HIV+ (according to identification by setting staff and/or by virtue of
receiving services in a program exclusively designated for people infected with
HIV/AIDS).

- Receiving services at an HIV/AIDS Care Setting sampled for this study, at the time of
recruitment.

- Identified as a setting client for at least three months (in order to answer
questions about the setting).

- Age 18 or older or emancipated minors over age 16.

- Able to converse in English or Spanish.

- Physically and mentally capable of providing informed consent, as determined by a
trained interviewer.

Inclusion Criteria for Patients'/Clients' Family Members: In keeping with the definition
of family as "networks of mutual commitment" adopted by the NIMH Family and AIDS
Consortium, and in recognition of the diverse types of family situations of people
affected by HIV/AIDS, we will include anyone designated as a "family member" by the index
client/patient who meets our other inclusion criteria:

- Identified by index patient client as "one of the people in my family most likely to
participate in programs with me" at the HIV/AIDS Care Setting sampled for this study.

- Age 18 or older or emancipated minors over age 16.

- Able to converse in English or Spanish.

- Physically and mentally capable of providing informed consent, as determined by a
trained interviewer.

Exclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria for AIDS Care Settings: Note that two or more AIDS Care Settings may
exist within a single institution or agency. For example, hospitals may have separate
programs for adult and pediatric HIV. A community AIDS service organization may have
multiple distinct programs for different populations. Also, two settings may be closely
coordinated. In order to ensure independence among settings, we will adopt the following
exclusionary criteria:

- Only one AIDS Care Setting administered or governed by a given institution will be
included in the study. If one setting from a particular institution agrees to
participate, other settings from that institution will be ineligible.

- Multi-site programs or programs of a single agency that are working together in a
coordinated fashion for purposes of this study will be treated as a single "AIDS Care
Setting." If we discover that programs are affiliated, we will remove them from the
list. In general, we will attempt to carry out this project at the site initially
identified, although involvement of multiple sites may be necessary.

Exclusion Consideration for Providers: All providers who are identified by the agency
leadership will be approached. However, a provider will not be able to participate if
he/she has already participated in the study as a provider from another agency.

Exclusion Considerations for Patients and Families: All patients/clients of settings
identified for this study and meeting above inclusion criteria are eligible.
Patients/clients will be able to participate regardless of whether or not they nominate a
family member to participate in the study with them.

Patients/clients will not be able to participate if they:

- Are not HIV+.

- Have been receiving services at the HIV/AIDS care setting for less than three months.

- Are under the age of 18, or are not emancipated minors.

- Are not able to converse in either English or Spanish.

- Are physically and mentally incapable of providing informed consent, as determined by
a trained interviewer.
