HIV+ Substance Users Released From Jail

"The behavioral intervention has been developed for a collaborative CHW and re-entry program intervention that targets HIV outcomes, substance use and recidivism in HIV+ jail releasees.~Participants will be randomized to the DOORS+CHW intervention versus TAU and all participants will undergo study follow-up visits at 3, 6 and 12 months. In other words, participants randomized to the intervention arm will meet with the CHW and a staff member from DOORS. One of the primary study aims is a randomized controlled trial of an intervention which has a reasonable probability of improving the health and well-being of the subject by improving linkage to social services and the HIV clinic. The control arm will receive standard of care (referrals to case management)."
