Project summary: Using a participatory action research (PAR) methodology, this project will design an intervention to increase HIV testing uptake among women from Indonesia. This project will involve community researchers, representatives from relevant organisations and community women born in Indonesia. Three PAR cycles will be conducted in this project. Phase one will use focus groups to understand enablers for HIV testing among community members. In phase two, the focus group data will be presented back to members of the participating communities who will be invited to co-design an intervention to increase HIV testing. In the final cycle, the intervention will be implemented and evaluated.

Who is involved? Corie Gray, Dr Gemma Crawford, Dr Roanna Lobo & Professor Bruce Maycock
