The Brief Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Index: A Rapid 3-Item Scale to Measure Engagement in HIV Care

Abstract

We created a brief version of The Index, a validated patient-reported measure that has potential to quickly identify patients at risk for poor retention. We analyzed Index scores from 2406 patients from 2016 to 2017 in a national cohort of patients in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care. Index scores predicted poor retention 12 months after administered.
