  2. aExcept IMPACT, where the week 2 VL and VAS adherence values were used
  3. bRange of values across 7 included criminal justice-involved studies
  4. cIncludes Cocaine/crack, opiates, methamphetamines, and marijuana
  5. d VL = viral load
  6. eVAS = visual analogue scale of adherence - % of ART medications taken in prior 30 days
  7. fDate range of baseline data collection
  8. SD = standard deviation
