In 2019, the IDPH administered its fifth Consumer Needs Assessment (CNA) survey following those completed in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2016. The purpose of this survey was to reach a representative proportion of people diagnosed and living with HIV in Iowa to answer the following questions in order to improve care and prevention services across the state:
- What are the HIV care and prevention services people diagnosed and living with HIV in Iowa need?
- What are the barriers to accessing those services?
- What are the experiences of people diagnosed and living with HIV in Iowa, including stigma, social determinants of health, and childhood trauma?
- How do service needs, gaps, and barriers vary by sub-populations of people diagnosed and living with HIV in Iowa?
- How do health and wellness vary by sub-populations of people diagnosed and living with HIV in Iowa, and how does it compare to Iowa’s overall population, as measured by statewide data?
The Consumer Needs Assessment results are displayed as fact sheets that make up the full report. The fact sheets may be used and distributed individually or together.
