Emory Joins Network

Emory University researchers recently joined the Florida Node Alliance of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Clinical Trials Network. CTN works to improve substance abuse treatment by linking researchers with care providers. Emory was chosen for its researchers' previous experience in working with HIV-positive crack cocaine users. The first network-related study will evaluate an intervention intended to link and retain HIV-infected substance abusers in care and treatment, and eventually to decrease their viral load and risk of transmission.
