Submitted by bea on

This set of training modules is designed to accompany the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) CQI Plan Template, which is a tool to help your team to plan and implement continuous quality improvement to strengthen programming. The modules contain foundational information about key steps in the CQI process, as well as workbook-style questions to support your team in applying the steps to your program.

The series of modules begins with a focus on building a strong infrastructure and then walks through each step in the CQI process and describes how those steps align with the elements of the SRAE CQI Plan Template.
