 AB    This paper describes the development and implementation of
       self-evaluation methods and guidelines in non-statutory HIV agencies
       that have been funded by Lothian Health. Two researchers developed this
       work under the aegis of the Lothian Health Centre for HIV/AIDS and Drug
       Studies (CHADS). It was implemented in eight agencies providing a
       diverse range of services. The methodology used included seminars,
       interviews, and self-evaluation report booklets, which the agencies
       completed. This process was not designed to be a full evaluation on its
       own, but rather used in conjunction with independent health board
       evaluation and monitoring systems. It proved to be an effective system
       and is currently being used with drug services who have already received
       an independent evaluation.
