Summary

This study tested a program called CJC-TraC, where a nurse case manager helps incarcerated individuals with HIV, hepatitis C, or substance use disorder prepare for release and connect to community healthcare. The program involved up to 4 in-person or telehealth visits before release and up to 4 after release. Researchers enrolled 219 participants and measured how feasible and acceptable the program was, as well as whether it improved follow-up care.
