Effectiveness results, dichotomized patient outcomes
| Measures | Sample size | Baseline | 6 months | Chi-square (P value) | Odds ratioa | |
| N | n (%) | n (%) | ||||
| Substance use in last 30 days | ||||||
| Any drink (Yes) | 207 | 64 (30.9) | 51 (24.6) | 3.2 (.07) | 0.552 | |
| Illicit drug use (Yes) | 206 | 63 (30.6) | 36 (17.5) | 14.38 (<.001) | 0.270 | |
| Any drink or drug (Yes) | 206 | 97 (47.1) | 69 (33.5) | 12.57 (<.001) | 0.349 | |

| Currently receive other addiction treatments (Yes) | 207 | 89 (43) | 78 (37.7) | 1.639 (.20) | 0.694 | |

| HIV risky behavior (Yes) | 207 | 76 (36.7) | 65 (31.4) | 1.818 (.18) | 0.667 | |

aNumbers lower than 1 mean reductions of the events from baseline to 6 months.
bThe odds ratio for this variable cannot be calculated because patients’ HIV testing status was considered current at 6 months if they had been tested at baseline; that is, there were zero patients considered tested at pretest and not tested at 6 months.
