Structures, Health and Risk among Re-Entrants, Probationers & ParTNERs
SHARRPP is a federally funded study (NIH/NIDA 1R01DA025021-01, PI: Kim M. Blankenship, PhD) that analyzes connections between the movement between the criminal justice system and the community and race disparities in HIV-related sexual risk. The study examines how drug policies contribute to this movement, and how the characteristics of the communities to which individuals return mediate HIV risk. This study builds on the research methodology and findings produced in a related project that was conducted between 2005 and 2007.
