Summary View help for Summary
This study is part of the Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project that involved over twenty studies in the fields of HIV and drug abuse. All studies were independently developed, but were chosen for the collaboration because they focused on one or more steps of the HIV treatment cascade: Seek, Test, Treat and Retain. As part of STTR Collaboration Project, the studies were grouped into Criminal Justice-related studies and Vulnerable Population-related studies. The data collected by these studies included twelve common domains (e.g., Demographic characteristics, Mental Health) in each of which a shared questionnaire or instrument was taken up by the studies and adapted to fit the study.
The main project of the CARE+ Corrections study is in Washington DC and is a RCT evaluating the "CARE+ Corrections intervention (a computerized tool integrating HIV treatment counseling, secondary transmission risk reduction counseling, and facilitated linkage to care through text message reminders)" versus standard of care among returning citizens in Washington, DC. The study is recruiting 100 participants who are incarcerated or were released from a correctional facility less than 6 months ago.
