Patient Care And Retention Program (PCARP) Conclusion
Identifying patientsat highest risk for not being retained is important to target intervention efforts to those groups. Invalid contact information, food insecurity, lack of nutritional resources and not being virally suppressed are strong predictors of retention. Other important factors more specific to rural communities are inconsistenttransportation and lack of a family based support network. Characteristics associated with retention will necessarily vary between urban and rural clinics. Rurality of HIV in the deep south becomes important when prioritizing interventions for improvement. We highlight the importance of addressing social determinants of
health on patient retention, includingcase management, transportation,use of social media, food and nutrition.
