HIV/AIDS Stigma and Discrimination in Caribbean Health Care Settings: Trigger Scenarios

Description

This series of 13 short video scenarios (each between 30 seconds and five minutes long) were produced to "trigger" discussion about common situations in Caribbean health care settings where HIV and AIDS stigma and discrimination may occur and can be prevented. The videos were produced to be used during HIV and AIDS training for health workers at all levels, including physicians, nurses, lab technicians, janitors and receptionists. A companion Facilitator Guide, provides detailed instructions for effective use of each trigger scenario, including suggested discussion questions and activities. The scenarios portray professional actors in various roles. The videos can be used individually or together.

The Caribbean HIV/AIDS Regional Training (CHART) Network, a network of five national training centres, identified stigma and discrimination as a critical issue to be addressed in training events because it is a major barrier to accessing care.

As part of the project, broad stakeholder input was sought (focus groups in three countries) throughout the development and production process so the scenarios are as realistic as possible.
