The study focused on developing and evaluating the efficacy of a new service delivery model that aims to a) increase HIV, STI testing and SU screening; b) reduce HIV and SU risk; and c) increase linkage to HIV, STI and SU services among young adults who are enrolled in an alternative sentencing program. The study tests an intervention that combines critical consciousness approaches with traditional linkage to care services for vulnerable youth.
