Network-Wide Assessment of Current Health Status and Behavioral Risk Factors: An Expanded Study for New Sites in ATN III

A cross sectional study that enrolled youth ages 12-24 years who received care during the study period for HIV infection at five newly participating ATN Adolescent Medicine Trials Units (AMTUs). The study was conducted in one visit and examined a broad spectrum of youth engaged in care at the AMTUs, including those newly enrolled in care. Information was collected on rates of adherence to medical regimens, sexual risk behaviors, substance use and mental health concerns, and basic demographic and biomedical data to understand risk behaviors, risk and protective factors, and relationships between factors in adolescents and young adults with HIV infection.
