Planning for SUCCESS (Sustained, Unbroken Connections to Care, Entry Services, and Suppression): Phase II of a Project to Improve the Connection to Community Care for HIV-Infected Persons Leaving Jail in Atlanta, 2014-2015 (ICPSR 39799)
Released/updated on: 2026-06-30
Geographic coverage: United States, Atlanta, Georgia
Time period: 2014-08-01--2015-02-01
This feasibility study tested the logistics and acceptance of the intervention and its evaluation tools against "usual care" conditions in preparation for a future randomized controlled trial. Specific aims included:
- Demonstrating that recruitment and delivery of the intervention are feasible.
- Demonstrating that enrolled releasees will link to HIV care by 3 months post release. A successful linkage to HIV medical care was defined as a confirmed visit to a clinic post release, validated by a recorded HIV viral load and CD4 count in the clinic's medical records.
- Documenting retention in care, defined as a minimum of 2 HIV clinical visits occurring within 12 months post release, with at least 2 clinical visits spaced a minimum of 3 months apart. Related retention outcome measures included proportion with viral load suppression and, as needed, attendance at substance abuse rehabilitation, and mental health treatment.
Data was collected at baseline, and at 3 and 12 months post-release. The 1st and 2nd sessions occurred in jail and 4 post-release sessions in the community.
