Expanded HIV testing and linkage to care: Conventional vs. Point-of-care testing and assignment of patient notification and linkage to care to an HIV care program.
This study examined the X-TLC program that used standard blood-based laboratory testing vs. point-of-care rapid testing or rapid laboratory testing with point-of-care results notification. Site coordinators and the linkage-to-care coordinator oversaw testing, test notification, and linkage to care. It concluded that HIV screening and linkage to care can be accomplished by incorporating standard testing for HIV into routine medical care.

Implementation and outcomes of forensic housing first programs.
The authors used administrative data and evaluative and qualitative site visit data to compare fidelity to the Housing First model and residential client outcomes between forensic and nonforensic programs and to investigate whether and how providers working in forensic programs can navigate competing Housing First principles and criminal justice mandates. They found that existing mental health and criminal justice collaborations necessitate adaptation to the Housing First model to accommodate client needs.
