Dataset from Validation of the HIV Treatment Readiness Measure

A multi-site study that assessed the reliability of the HIV Treatment Readiness Measure (HTRM). The psychometric properties of the HTRM and test-retest reliability were assessed with a sample of HIV positive youth between 13 and 24 years of age that were highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) naive (never having taken HAART) or HAART experienced (at least one experience taking HAART and not taken HAART 30 days prior to study entry). The HTRM is a tool to assist clinicians in determining whether youth living with HIV are ready to initiate HAART, and to identify youth in need of additional support services to facilitate their adherence to HAART.
