Who is the CAPC Woman? The CAPC woman is a pregnant woman who is not in prenatal care; a woman who suspects pregnancy and is not receiving health services; a pregnant woman in crisis regardless of whether she is connected to care; or a woman of childbearing age with HIV who is newly diagnosed and postpartum, or who is not receiving HIV related health care. Reaching the CAPC Woman General strategies for reaching the CAPC woman include social marketing, direct outreach by specially trained outreach workers, and referrals from community agencies serving high-risk women.  Women reached through social marketing and agency referral may be in need of enhanced outreach services.  Enhanced outreach is ongoing and, individualized and addresses issues the woman identifies as immediate.  CAPC outreach is designed to build a trusting relationship between the outreach worker and the client.  In addition, the outreach worker navigates the woman into health care or case management.
