The Promise of Outreach for Engaging and Retaining Out-Of-Care Persons in HIV Medical Care
Description:
Through the Health Resources and Services Administration ( HRSA) Special Projects of National Significance ( SPNS) Outreach Initiative, 10 sites across the United States implemented and evaluated enhanced outreach models designed to increase engagement and retention in HIV care for underserved, disadvantaged HIV- infected individuals. Although the models differed in response to local needs and organizational characteristics, all made use of a common conceptual framework, and all used the same data collection and reporting protocols. Study teams enrolled and provided behavioral interventions to HIV- infected individuals who have been noticeably absent from research and from practice.
