LINKAGES Enhanced Peer Outreach Approach (EPOA)

This guide introduces the enhanced peer outreach approach, which engages previously unidentified members of key populations for HIV prevention and testing, particularly those who are hard to reach and who may be at high risk or already have HIV. This guide describes the approach, its potential benefits and the steps involved in implementing it.

LINKAGES also developed the Enhanced Peer Outreach Approach Training Curriculum for Peer Outreach Workers. This training curriculum complements the implementation guide by offering a detailed curriculum for training peer outreach workers in how to use the approach.
