Funded by: Center for Drug Use and HIV Research
Project dates: October 2017 - March 2018
Principal Investigator: Aronson, IanProject dates: October 2017 - March 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This study examined barriers to HIV and HCV testing and opioid overdose prevention training among people who inject drugs (PWID) in community-based settings and how the Mobile Intervention Kit (MIK) addressed these barriers and how it can be integrated into existing provider workflows. It also examined potential costs and reimbursements available to community-based organizations addressing HIV and HCV testing and overdose prevention, and how the MIK can be made financially self-sustaining.
