Welcome to the Data Use Community (DUC)!
The DUC was built to leverage the expertise in clinical care, systems, policy, and data reuse and analysis, along with the field experience available across implementing agencies, ministries, and implementing partners, to create a peer support network of interested practitioners. The DUC’s initial focus is on guidance regarding approaches for enhancing continuity of treatment and interruption in treatment. We propose to then extend this tested approach to address other evolving priorities that can only be addressed through individual patient-level data.
The DUC will operate in a collaborative and iterative way to support Ministries of Health and country implementers.
The DUC is initially working towards the following goals:
- Be initiated with founding members with relevant clinical expertise for HIV prevention, treatment, and care, informatics, and data science.
- Consolidate best practices, drawn from country experience, to a generally applicable and context-specific approach to improve continuity of treatment and reduce interruption in treatment, with specific attention to the data and systems approach.
- Ensure field experience sharing, improve interagency coordination and collaboration, and integrate group efforts to support program goals.

Archive: Former DUC Meetings
As the DUC was beginning to host regular community touch points, we scheduled meetings on a monthly basis along with follow-up calls. As the DUC grew and progressed in their efforts, it became clear these monthly meetings were no longer needed to sustain the work and connection of the community. We now host meetings throughout the month as needed, as it works for community members, and on topics that are timely for the work.
