Informing Dissemination of Behavior Therapies to Enhance HIV Care Among Substance Abusers

This project developed a low-cost, high-yield approach to determine the scope and impact of substance-specific SUDs in a large, diverse population of patients linked to HIV care. The project used a coordinated multisite HIV care repository, governed by Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS), that incorporates data from sites across the U.S. Analyses focused on care engagement, defined as a two-year period following HIV diagnosis and linkage to care.
