Adolescents’ Care Use
Co-Principal Investigator: Debra A. Murphy, Ph.
D.
Funding Agency: Johns Hopkins University
Funding Period: September 2001-July 2005
Scope of Project: Aims of the study are to explore
the inter-relationships between substance use, mental health,
peer and kin network substance use influences on engagement in
care of HIV-infected adolescent females. Among 200 HIV+ adolescent
females, we will determine how drug use and mental health directly
and inter-actively affect engagement in care; and how drug use
among members of HIV-infected adolescent females' social and kin
networks affect adolescent females' engagement in care.
