"HIV/AIDS: A TRIBAL CALL TO ACTION" - A Flip Chart for Rural Health Care Providers

Developed by the Alaska Native Health Board, in collaboration with the TPED Project, this Alaska-specific teaching tool was completed and distributed by the Alaska TPED Project in Spring 2002.

The flip chart is a table-top size (8.5x11) sandwich board with one side facing the client or audience (it has simpler text with graphics) and the other side facing the provider or trainer (includes more detailed information). The flip chart can be used for client and patient education, or in talks with small groups. For use with larger groups, the client pages can be photocopied to overheads.

Topics covered include:

• Factors that fuel the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Native Country
• HIV stages of infection
• How HIV is and is not spread
• HIV testing
• Prevention: ways to reduce risk
• Living with HIV (Treatment, Support, Taking Care of Yourself)
• State and Local Resources
