DOT workers
  1. Tell me a little about your initial impressions when you began to work as DOT volunteers in the CASA program?

  2. How did the patients respond to you?

  3. What are the most important types of support that you provide to the patients and their families?

  4. How has your attitude toward HIV ⁄ AIDS changed since working with this project? Did you have to confront any pre-conceptions, stereotypes, or stigma toward HIV in yourselves? How have the patients’ relatives and health workers dealt with HIV stigma?

  5. What was the process of leaving the CASA program like for the patients? What were some of the most difficult challenges that your patients have had since starting ART? What do you think will be the most difficult challenges for them in the future?

  6. Would you have any suggestions for the project? And the most valuable aspects of the project?
