Implementation—Matching Responses to Needs
In implementing an unmet need strategy, programs can respond to the needs of priority subgroups, offering appropriate information and services to each. Implementing an unmet need strategy does not necessarily require new activities but rather improving and refocusing existing activities. For example, it may be necessary to train service providers in new skills in counseling and in working more effectively with clients (200). While implementation should be based on the analysis and design stages, the checklist on the next page illustrates some of the possible responses to the most common reasons for unmet need (see Chapter 2 and Chapter 4).
