Description

A social services agency that provides services to people living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota holds monthly support groups to assist in meeting the needs of their clients. The purpose of this research is to determine if the HIV support group is indeed meeting the needs of their clients and to determine if there are any barriers to accessing the support group. A written survey using a Likert scale and additional open-ended questions was mailed to the homes of the clients in the support group's service area. The survey was sent to all clients whether they regularly attend the support group or not. The hypothesis is that there will be needs that are not met and/or barriers to accessing the support group.
