Case Managers for CVD Risk Reduction in HIV Clinic

A series of educational pamphlets on CVD risk reduction plus a telephone-based CVD risk reduction curriculum will be administered by Clinic-Based Case Managers (CCMs). Six modules will be given over 24 weeks in a rotating fashion on topics relevant to CVD risk. Subjects will be given the pamphlets every 2 weeks corresponding with the first time they receive the telephone - based module.

A series of 6 handouts will be given to controls once monthly over 6 months on the same topics presented in the telephone modules. Educational packets will be primarily drawn from free printed material available at www.learningaboutdiabetes.org and the American Heart Association website.
