Alternate Title

Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project

Summary

The Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project involved over twenty studies in the fields of HIV and drug abuse. These 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. These 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. This repository contains the collected data and documentation from the STTR collaboration.

This study in particular is part of the Urban Health Studies project, specifically assessing treatment outcomes of high-risk probationers and parolees with HIV in California from 2012 to 2013.

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the status, behavior, and treatment outcomes of high-risk probationers and parolees with HIV in California. The study aims to asses how the health and behavior of respondents evolve in relation to their access to medical treatment.

Study Design

At baseline data collection in 2012, 2,107 respondents were interviewed and their health markers were also recorded. After baseline data collection, a quarterly assessment was implemented, for which a smaller portion of the sample (48 individuals), was available.

Sample

The sample consists of 2,107 unique respondents in California within the categories of probationers (criminal offenders serving a court-ordered sentence in the community) or parolees (criminal offenders who have been released earlier after serving a portion of their sentence).
