Review of Your STI/HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Materials

The Community Review Standards Panel (CSRP) is a service unit of the STI/HIV/AIDS Division, Capacity Building & Training Section (HIV/AIDS Training Unit).

The Community Review Standards Panel (CSRP) is a group made up of community members, community based organizations (CBOs), teachers, and Health Department representatives, who review written and audiovisual materials produced by agencies that receive CDC funding to ensure that the material is not offensive to the community.

The goal is to provide guidance for the development and use of educational materials, and to consider the appropriateness of messages designed to communicate with various groups.

To participate you must be a HIV Prevention service delegate agency; or a community based organization (CBO) providing HIV prevention services in Chicago.
