美国是世界上监狱人口最多的国家，据估计，美国每年每7名艾滋病毒阳性者中就有1人接受惩教机构的治疗。有鉴于此，至关重要的是要制定创新和有效的办法，支持刑事司法系统中艾滋病毒阳性者的艾滋病毒治疗和留住护理。信息和通信技术(信通技术)，包括移动保健(MHealth)干预，可提供成功的联系/留住护理战略的一个组成部分。我们描述了目前正在华盛顿进行的一项随机对照试验(RCT)研究CARE+RECTIONS，该研究将评估计算机化动机访谈咨询和租赁后短信(SMS)短信提醒的组合效果，以增加参与刑事司法系统的艾滋病毒感染者对抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的依从性以及联系和保留护理。在这份报告中，我们描述了这种ICT/移动健康干预的发展，概述了用于评估这种干预的研究程序，并总结了对移动健康知识库的影响。
The United States has the world's highest prison population, and an estimated one in seven HIV-positive persons in the USA passes through a correctional facility annually. Given this, it is critical to develop innovative and effective approaches to support HIV treatment and retention in care among HIV-positive individuals involved in the criminal justice (CJ) system. Information and communication technologies (ICTs), including mobile health (mHealth) interventions, may offer one component of a successful strategy for linkage/retention in care. We describe CARE+ Corrections, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) study now underway in Washington, that will evaluate the combined effect of computerized motivational interview counseling and postrelease short message service (SMS) text message reminders to increase antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and linkage and retention in care among HIV-infected persons involved in the criminal justice system. In this report, we describe the development of this ICT/mHealth intervention, outline the study procedures used to evaluate this intervention, and summarize the implications for the mHealth knowledge base.
