Article Synopsis
- The Longitudinal Investigations into Supportive and Ancillary health services (LISA) study focuses on individuals living with HIV/AIDS in British Columbia who have accessed anti-retroviral therapy, aiming to explore health outcomes related to support services and quality of life.
- Between 2007 and 2010, 1,000 participants completed detailed questionnaires covering medical history, substance use, and social determinants of health, with 917 linked to clinical data.
- The cohort includes 27% females, a median age of 39, and 32% identifying as Aboriginal, with initiatives for knowledge sharing like plain language summaries and arts-based engagement methods.
