PLANNING AND CONDUCTING OUTREACH Tools to Conduct Outreach
What information do we need from the field? How many IDUs are there in the target area? Can we reach them all? How many regular injectors are there among the IDUs? How many N/S or condoms do we need in a month to cover risk occasions? Does the outreach timing suit the IDUs?
Steps in Conducting Outreach The information can be collected using certain tools and following few steps. They are: 1. Social Mapping 2. Spot Analysis 3. Contact Mapping 4. Risk/Vulnerability Assessment 5. Work Plan
