Interventions

  • LYNX — BEHAVIORAL
    LYNX is an mHealth enhanced, adapted navigator program designed to refer and link young adults (18 to 29 years) impacted by the criminal legal system to services related to substance use and HIV.
  • Standard of Care — BEHAVIORAL
    Standard of care will involve young adults (18 to 29 years) impacted by the criminal legal system engaging in and connecting with HIV and substance use services in healthcare systems via warm referral to services in the community.

Study Details

This study is designed to test Project LYNX, a program designed to help young adults (ages 18-29) with recent criminal legal system involvement can find and get connected to substance use and HIV-prevention services in the community. The program combines support from a trained peer navigator with easy-to-use digital tools. The study will: * Adapt an existing navigator program by adding new digital (eHealth) tools that were co-developed with young adults. These tools will help navigators refer participants to the right health services. * Refine and test the updated program to make sure it works well and is easy to use. * Evaluate whether the program is feasible, acceptable, and helpful in linking young adults to substance use treatment and HIV-prevention services. The overall goal is to create a practical, user-friendly system that supports young adults find and get connected to services for substance use and HIV prevention that they need.
