Summary:
Report of research conducted at the Pacific Resource Centre (PARC) exploring what health promotion might mean in community AIDS work. Health promotion literature was examined for key concepts and interviews of key informants working at PARC were conducted. A model is proposed for refining AIDS work as a faithful response to new perceptions of community needs informed by health promotion research, theory and practice. An outline is presented of a specific, targeted action initiated by the education staff of AIDS Vancouver as a result of the inquiry activities and discussions inspired by this research.
