Checklist for Change: HIV & Hepatitis C Stigma in Health Care
DABC’s AIDS & Disability Action Program/Wellness & Disability Initiative has published a new booklet on HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) stigma in health care environments. Checklist for Change: HIV & Hepatitis C Stigma in Health Care is based on research and interviews with service providers and individuals living with HIV and HCV.
Included in the publication is a checklist to encourage reflection on personal communication practices for individuals working in health care settings. Suggestions for training and effective organizational policies are also included.
