These methods included self-administered surveys mailed by service providers, intercept interviews held at service sites and other areas (e.g. bars, shelters, drug treatment centers), and an extensive series of focus group discussions. Over 700 people with HIV/AIDS from the tri-county area (over 20% of the estimated affected population) participated in the study.
