ATN 093 Combined data from New Client Information Form, Client LTC Encounter Form and Client Status, formatted Dataset in Evaluation of SMILE in CARING for YOUTH: CDC-ATN/NICHD HIV Testing and Linkage-to-Care Collaboration

Combined data from New Client Information Form, Client LTC Encounter Form and Client Status, formatted
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
本研究以15家青少年医学试验单元（Adolescent Medicine Trial Unit, AMTU）为研究场景，旨在识别与SMILE项目应用于青少年关怀（CARING for YOUTH）项目中的LTC项目网络有效性相关的项目级影响因素。研究人员对各AMTU下属的各类LTC项目进行了评估与分类。随后，本研究分析了LTC项目特征（涵盖服务提供者、临床实践流程与系统架构）与12至24岁（含边界）人类免疫缺陷病毒（Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV）感染青年的护理衔接率及持续照护维持率之间的关联。本研究以AMTU下属的LTC项目作为分析单元，而非以个体青年为分析对象。本研究聚焦于上述15家AMTU临床研究站点所运营的护理衔接至照护项目。
