Abstract
This article describes the experience and outcomes of the National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies HIV Services and Treatment Implementation in Corrections protocol in the state of Delaware. The protocol was designed to test the effectiveness of a change team model in improving HIV services in correctional settings. In Delaware, a team was created with representatives from correctional and community agencies to work on improving linkage to HIV care for individuals released from incarceration. The team made improvements in the entire HIV service continuum: linkage to HIV care, HIV education, and HIV testing. The experiences in Delaware and the findings from this study suggest that the use of a change team model is a viable method for making organizational change in correctional settings.
