Abstract | This following provides a detailed summary regarding the case of HIV screening and health promotion within a regional/rural community in Queensland, with higher self-reported rates of stigma and discrimination. Information is provided regarding the community engagement and communication strategies employed to promote this novel screening initiative; use of community-based online technologies to promote participant recruitment, and use of respondent-driven sampling to increase engagement with hard to reach and socially isolated members of the target group. Use of peer-health promotion officers, a discrete screening environment, bringing the mobile service to the key target groups and geographical regions; onward linking and integration with mainstream health services and models of care; and direct collaborative partnering with key community organisations will be further discussed and are pivotal to the feasibility and acceptability of these types of initiatives. Broader applications to other health areas will also be discussed. |
