HIV Service Providers: We Want You for an Important Web Research Study

ACRIA is collaborating with researchers from Indiana University on a study of issues facing those who work or volunteer for HIV organizations. If you work in an HIV prevention or HIV care program, we invite you to participate in this exciting study. The purpose of this study is to better understand the extent to which HIV service providers may benefit from HIV prevention programs or programs designed to assist them in other areas of their job.

Participation is completely anonymous and voluntary. Completion of the survey will occur via the internet and will take approximately 20 minutes. If you want to participate, click here.
