*Additional DEBI Information*
Please note, the following CDC materials are now included as part of all DEBI training resources, and are in the folders that trainers provide to participants at the beginning of all DEBI trainings. (These materials are in addition to the training handouts that are part of the intervention training.)
CDC's Procedural Guidance for CBOs (April 2006)
The CDC's Procedural Guidance for CBOs was updated and revised in April 2006 and again in January 2008. The Procedural Guidance gives information to help CBOs come up with a plan for delivering interventions. The Guidance has information on each DEBI project intervention and how to make the interventions work for your CBO (adaptation). It also contains information on other HIV prevention activities, services, and strategies, such as Rapid HIV Testing and Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services. Please visit the web site for more information.
