ATN 093 Outreach Worker Survey on Partnering Agency [CRF 83B, Question 11] Dataset in Evaluation of SMILE in CARING for YOUTH: CDC-ATN/NICHD HIV Testing and Linkage-to-Care Collaboration

Data from Outreach Worker Survey on Partnering Agency [CRF 83B, Question 11]
Study Description
This study determined program-level factors associated with the effectiveness of SMILE in CARING for YOUTH Linkage-to-Care (LTC) program networks at 15 Adolescent Medicine Trial Units (AMTUs). The various LTC programs at the AMTUs were evaluated and categorized. The study then examined associations between LTC program characteristics (providers, practices, and systems) and the proportion of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected youth, ages 12-24 years old, inclusive, linked to care and maintained in care. This study focused on LTC programs at the AMTUs as the unit of analysis and not the youth themselves. This study focused on Linkage-to-Care (LTC) programs at 15 Adolescent Medicine Trial Units (AMTU) clinical research sites

研究概况
本研究旨在明确15个青少年医学试验单元（Adolescent Medicine Trial Units, AMTUs）内，“CARING for YOUTH”随访转介至诊疗服务（Linkage-to-Care, LTC）项目网络中，SMILE项目的有效性相关的项目层面影响因素。研究团队对各青少年医学试验单元内的各类LTC项目进行了评估与分类。随后，本研究分析了LTC项目的特征（包括服务提供者、实施流程与系统架构）与12至24岁（含两端）人类免疫缺陷病毒（Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV）感染青年中，成功转介至诊疗服务并维持诊疗的人群比例之间的相关性。本研究以各青少年医学试验单元内的LTC项目作为分析单元，而非以个体青年为分析对象。本研究聚焦于15个青少年医学试验单元（Adolescent Medicine Trial Units, AMTU）临床研究站点内的LTC项目。
