The twelve
clinic-based programs currently deliver HIV medical care to
underserved
populations and have fully operational adherence support programs
for their clients
receiving HAART. The programs were selected to receive funding
from the HRSA
Special Programs of National Significance (SPNS) to evaluate
their adherence programs because their adherence interventions
were considered innovative. The programs serve a variety of
populations, but all target uninsured or underinsured people
with HIV who have difficulty accessing care. They use a range
of different adherence interventions, but all seek to improve
the ability of their clients to successfully adhere to HAART.
In addition, they all provide some sort of non-cash incentive
for participating in the research study. No clients are prevented
from receiving the services of their programs if they choose
not to participate in the study.
