The Self-Study Module is a self-directed learning tool comprised of four sections:  Background to HIV and Cultural Issues among Native American clients, HIV Prevention, Early Intervention, and Health Promotion.  Advanced care is beyond the scope of this module, but resources are provided for further information.
