8 Using the data collected to improve HIV prevention efforts There is no point collecting behavioral data unless they are used, and used for the benefit of the people from whom they were collected. Deciding how the data are to be used should be one of the early steps in the planning process for BSS, as described in Chapter 2. Waiting until after the data are collected to decide how they will best be used may lead to lost opportunities: pieces of information that might prove particularly persuasive to key decision-makers in a local context may simply not get collected unless data use is planned before data collection begins. Having said that, it must also be recognized that information that arises out of the data collection and analysis process and that was not anticipated may influence the final use of data in unpredictable ways. The various reasons for tracking behavior were discussed at the start of this document This chapter describes the particular uses to which the data can be put, once collected and analyzed. It also describes how data can be packaged differently for different audiences, and makes suggestions for data presentation. B EHAV I OR A L S U R V EI L L A NC E SURV EY S CHAPTER 8 85
