Abstract: In July 2002, a total of 35 telephone interviews were conducted, 24 with appointed or elected community planning group (CPG) co-chairs and eleven with Native CPG members, in thirteen states in order to complete a needs assessment for Natives involved in HIV prevention planning.  States included in the study were: Alaska, Arizona, California, Minnesota, Montana, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.  CPGs are organized in a variety of ways; those with the greatest representation of Native were either Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) or Native American Advisory Committess (NAACs).  Appointed co-chairs typically had served twice as long as the elected co-chairs.  The learning curve for a new CPG member averaged about twelve months.
