Organization Description: In a nurturing setting, AIDS Service Center NYC helps HIV-positive New Yorkers, and those at risk, get a second chance through positive change. We provide a diverse range of individualized, professional services that foster self-respect, personal responsibility and connection to community. Each year, we help more than 14,000 NYC residents make a positive change. Programs include:



•       Confidential HIV testing & counseling

•       Connection to medical care, including facilitation and coordination of services

•       Quality of life counseling and intervention to meet basic needs

•       Peer education, training and recovery support

•       Safe-practice counseling

•       Women's services

•       Mental health/support groups/spiritual guidance

•       Creative writing workshops to promote self-awareness and self-expression

Our innovative case management approach addresses each client’s uniquely personal and medically specific needs. As a result, we develop sustainable solutions that maximize independence, promote wellness and help our clients reintegrate into society.



Starting with a detailed assessment, we provide a continuum of medical care, mental health counseling, peer counseling and, as requested, spiritual guidance. To address issues faced by women with children and survivors of domestic violence, we also offer family counseling and facilitation of relevant legal services.





Fieldwork Description (Description of the project(s) on which the student would work): ASCNYC is developing a dashboard of quality and outcome indicators. The first step in developing this dashboard is to create a profile of the average client, capturing their chronic conditions, CD4 counts, Viral Loads, services received and time spent providing services over a 3-6 month period. Using data collected at intake, we will collect and analyze the following:

•       chronic conditions

•       most recent viral load (documented and/or self-report)

•       most recent CD4 count

•       medical provider and date of last appointment

•       demographics

•       time spent with client

This project will include chart extraction, data entry, and, possibly, data analysis.
