The ESTICOM satellite symposium will present selected results from two surveys – The 2017 European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS) and the European Community Health Worker OnlinE Survey (ECHOES), and will present and discuss initial experiences and lessons from a Training Programme for Community Health Workers (CHW) working with MSM. EMIS-2017 collected data on risk and precautionary behaviours, health promotion needs, prevention intervention performance, and sexual morbidities from 39 European countries, the Lebanon, Israel, Canada, and the Philippines. The final sample consists of 137,358 men. ECHOES was the first ever online survey addressing CHW working with MSM in Europe. Data on types of work performed, motivations and satisfaction about their role as CHW, trainings received and training needs were collected. CHW (n=1035) from 36 European countries participated. A training programme for CHW working with MSM has been designed and is being implemented in 2018 for 21 EU countries, CH, MD and RU.
