Target Population: yout with HIV. Choosing Life: Empowerment, Action, Results (CLEAR), funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is a project that seeks to learn more about youth living with HIV, their relationships and health, how they cope with problems, and how drug and alcohol use impacts sexual and other risk behaviors that may lead to the transmission of HIV. CLEAR will also assess the cost effectiveness of delivering these interventions so that they may be widely disseminated to HIV/AIDS service providers across the country and around the world.
