SUMMARY:HIV surveillance in key populations
DESCRIPTION: 24-28 October 2022 \nDescription \nThe aim of the course is to provide participants with practical guidance on how to design bio-behavioural HIV surveys and conduct estimation of the size of key populations (female sex workers [FSW]\, people who inject drugs [PWID]\, men who have sex with men [MSM]) and transgender persons)\, conduct these studies\, and analyze\, interpret and use the data. The course will outline the approaches that can be used for extrapolating local data to develop national size estimates by applying various adjustments. \n The course will provide a detailed outline of design of integrated bio-behavioural HIV surveys (IBBS) that are based on time-location (TLS) and respondent-driven sampling (RDS). Presentations and exercises will address a number of issues relevant for the appropriate implementation of IBBS\, data analysis and construction and interpretation of key indicators. \nPresentations will also reflect on various methods of population size estimation (PSE) that are most commonly used\, including the emerging new approach of virtual mapping. \nThe course will also describe how to generate HIV prevention and treatment casedes in KPs\, using IBBS\, PSE and and routine programme data. \n Lectures will be followed by discussions about case studies to enable interactive exchange of knowledge and experiences. \n  \nKey topics of the course are:  \n\nDesign and implementation of TLS and RDS\nMethods used to estimate the size of KPs: mapping (including mapping of virtual platforms); multiplier method; two and three-source capture-recapture;\nCircumstances when it is appropriate to use specific size estimation methods\nExtrapolation from local size estimation to sub-national and national estimates using extrapolation procedures\nData quality challenges in IBBS and PSE studies\nFramework for HIV prevention and treatment cascade\nUse of HIV cascades as management tools that identify gaps and related barriers and as advocacy tools for indicating points for intervention to enhance programme effectiveness\n\n  \nParticipants will be given opportunities to share their own country-specific experiences and challenges in IBBS and estimating the size of KPs. \nKey aspect of the course is a group/individual work on development of protocols/ proposals. Participants can choose between these options: \n\nTo develop a protocol for an IBBS or a PSE study\nTo construct  HIV prevention or treatment cascades using their own data\n\n Participants will present the results of this work on the final day of the course. \n  \nTeaching Methods \nThe course consists of lectures\, presentation of case studies\, active class discussion\, exercises and group work. The course is designed to provide participants with practical skills and knowledge on how to conduct size estimation studies. \n  \nTarget Audience \nEpidemiologists\, demographers\, public health professionals\, social scientists \n  \nVenue \nThe course will be held in Zagreb\, Croatia. \n  \nLecturers \nProfessor George Rutherford\, MD\, Global Health Sciences\, University of California\, San Francisco \nAssociate professor Ivana Bozicevic\, MD\, DrPH\, WHO Collaborating Centre for HIV Strategic Information\, School of Medicine\, University of Zagreb\, Croatia \nZoran Dominkovic\, WHO Collaborating Centre for HIV Strategic Information\, School of Medicine\, University of Zagreb\, Croatia \n  \nProgramme \n\n\n\n  \n24 October 2022\n  \n \n\n\n9.00-9.30\nWelcome and Introductions\n\n\n9.30-10.00\nPrinciples of HIV surveillance in key populations  (KPs)\n\n\n10.00-10.30\nDesign of integrated bio-behavioural surveys (IBBS) in KPs \nImportance of formative assessment before IBBS\n\n\n10.30-10.50\nBreak\n\n\n11.00-11.30\nCountry presentations \n \n\n\n11.30-12.30\nDesigns of bio-behavioural surveys in key populations – \nRespondent driven  sampling –  I part (principles\, formative assessment\, study flow\, seeds)\n\n\n12.30-13.30\nLunch\n\n\n13.30-14.15\nExercise 1: Pre-surveillance assessment in key populations\n\n\n14.15-14.35\n Break\n\n\n14.35-15.30\nRespondent-driven sampling – II part (RDS data collection forms\, staff responsibilities and coupon management file)\n\n\n15.30-16.30\nExercise 2: Respondent-driven sampling\n\n\n  \n25 October 2022\n  \n \n\n\n9.00-9.45\nTime-location sampling – I (formative assessment with mapping\, sampling frame development\, study flow) \n \n\n\n10.00-11.00\nTime-location sampling – II (data collection forms\, staff roles\, implementation)\n\n\n11.00-11.20\nBreak \n\n\n11.20-12.00\nSelecting and constructing key indicators from IBBS\n\n\n12.00-13.00\nExercise 3: Interpretation of indicators on coverage with HIV prevention from IBBS and programme data \n\n\n13.00-14.00\nLunch\n\n\n14.00-15.15\nIBBS data analysis\n\n\n15.15-15.30\nBreak\n\n\n15.30-16.30\nUsing IBBS to construct HIV prevention cascades in in key populations \n  \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n26 October 2022\n\n\n\n9.00-9.30\nPrinciples of population size estimation (PSE) in KPs\n\n\n9.30-10.15\n PSE – Geographical mapping\n\n\n10.15-10.30\nBreak\n\n\n10.30-11.15\nPSE – Multiplier method\n\n\n11.15-12.00\nPSE – Capture-recapture \n \n\n\n11.00–11.45\nPSE – Virtual mapping\n\n\n11.45-12.30\nExercise 4.
