Abstract:

MEASURE Evaluation pilot-tested the PLACE (Priorities for Local AIDS-Control Efforts) Method to locate and describe areas in Cape Town, South Africa, with the aim of determining if the PLACE method could accurately locate and classify sites where individuals at high risk for HIV infection go to meet new sex partners. Key informants identified potential venues where people went to meet sexual partners; researchers then visited these locations and recorded information about the locations and about patrons' sexual behaviors, knowledge, and receptivity to prevention messages. Authors conclude that the PLACE method appears promising for focusing interventions in Cape Town and the developing world.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
