HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Archive (HAPPA)

Effective Program Packages

The HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Archive (HAPPA) was created by Sociometrics under the sponsorship of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with the goal of identifying, disseminating and replicating empirically-supported HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs. Programs in the archive were selected by a panel of HIV/AIDS expert scientists according to criteria of scientific rigor and demonstrated positive impact on HIV infection rates and/or HIV-related behaviors. Sociometrics is pleased to offer the following programs packages to prevention professionals. The packages are available singly or as a collection. HIV/AIDS/STD prevention programs for adolescents are available as part of the PASHA collection.
