mHealth Service Linkage for Young Adults Impacted by the Criminal Legal System (NCT07599722)
Technology Enhanced Substance Use and HIV Service Navigation for Justice-Involved Young Adults
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
