This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of two Patient Navigation models of care to evaluate the proportion who initiate PrEP/ART and substance use/substance use disorder (SU/SUD) treatment. A standardized Patient Navigation (PN) arm will be compared with a shared decision-making model in the form of Patient Choice (PC) through the offer of a menu of existing community-based health service delivery options. This design will offer providers, correctional and public health authorities, payers and policy makers' timely and relevant data to assess the effectiveness of Patient Navigation and Patient Choice models of care as potentially useful re-entry and relapse prevention treatment options.
