Abstract
The end+disparities ECHO Collaborative is a national initiative aimed at building continuous quality improvement (QI) skills for the purpose of reducing health disparities, particularly in viral suppression rates, among four subpopulations disproportionately affected: Black/African American/Latina Women (BAAL), men of color who have sex with men (MSM of Color), transgender individuals, and youth (ages 13-24). It was intended to create a national community of learners from diverse settings, agencies, and backgrounds, who all focus on serving individuals with HIV.
The overall purpose of this evaluation was to explore short-term and intermediate outcomes that underlie the end+disparities ECHO Collaborative’s theory of change to achieve long-term goals, particularly in terms of participant engagement, activity implementation, and initial progress. A mixed-methods strategy was implemented to meet these evaluation objectives. This approach took advantage of extant data and combined it with more targeted data collection to allow confirmation, cross-validation, and corroboration across sources and findings. Stakeholder perspectives were incorporated to allow for participant-level views of project successes and challenges.
