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.
