Developing HIV/AIDS Work with Drug Users - A Guide to Participatory Assessment and Response

This guide describes how to design and carry out an assessment on HIV/AIDS and drug use. It begins with basic information about drug use and then offers "step-by-step" guidance on how to carry out a participatory assessment which can be tailored according to the particular assessment.

The guide refers to a "Participatory Assessment and Response (PAR) approach." This kind of assessment changes the focus from collecting information about drug users to involving them in the problem-solving process.
