Update to the Unmet Need Methodology for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Parts A and B recipients, including:
- Background on the unmet need requirement.
- Summary of how changes to the methodology were determined.
- Instructions for RWHAP Parts A and Part B recipients on how to calculate unmet need using the updated methodology.
Once you determine if you are using the Required Unmet Need Estimates and Analysis (chapter 3) or the Enhanced Unmet Need Estimates and Analysis (chapter 4) approach, you will only need to review the section of the manual that covers that approach.
