Quality of comprehensive HIV care in underserved communities: does clinical training lead to improvement.

The AIDS Education and Training Centers National Evaluation Center led collaborative research to evaluate whether Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)-funded clinical training changes clinical practice.

Generalized estimating equations were used to account for repeated measures within each clinic.
