  • Description:
    Continuity of Care Engagement for Persons Released from Jail is a follow-up linkage to care intervention for persons with diagnosed HIV released from jail, instituted by Cook County Jail in Chicago, Illinois. This intervention used telephone contact within 2-4 days of release by continuity clinic coordinators, who scheduled and informed persons released from jail of their follow-up clinical appointment date, which was within 6 weeks of release, in addition to standard care. If not reached in the first call, participants were called again for 2 attempts 24 hours apart from the first call at different times of the day. The standard of care included comprehensive discharge planning, substance abuse treatment and provision of information on how to self-schedule appointments with chosen clinics.
