Project ACCEPT: Engaging Newly Diagnosed HIV+ Youth in Care

A two-group randomized repeated measures design that examined the efficacy of Project ACCEPT (Adolescents Coping, Connecting, Empowering and Protecting Together) compared with an attention-controlled health education comparison intervention (HEALTH). Goals of the intervention were to improve engagement in care, decrease psychosocial barriers to care, and decrease sexual risk for youth newly diagnosed with HIV. Data were primarily collected through Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) questionnaires and medical record abstraction.
