NCT ID NCT05376371
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Coordinated Transitional Care intervention (CJC-TraC) delivered by a nurse case manager
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could improve health outcomes and reduce gaps in care for people leaving prison with HIV, hepatitis C, or substance use disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed feasibility study, not a large trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations, and the program may not be widely adopted.
