Curricula developed by the USMBHA

• PROMOVISION Guide: Also called “A Guide to Strengthen the Capacity of Promotoras to Increase Access to and Utilization of HIV Prevention Services”. The curriculum has been designed with the participation of Promotoras among other community leaders and stakeholders. It was designed to enhance Promotoras capacity to become effective leaders to respond to the needs of Latinos/as through strategic planning and development of action plans that will lead to increasing access to and utilization of HIV prevention services by Latinos/as at high risk for contracting or transmitting HIV.
  The Promovision Guide training curriculum included modules designed to enhance Promotoras' skills on coalition building; leadership and community empowerment; effective strategies for community mobilization; development of action plans using the logic model as a tool; and how to use media to promote changes at the community level. It aims to be delivered either in English or Spanish in a three-day format but it can also be adapted to a one or two-day format based on the community training needs and available time.
