Since 2019, the local research consortium includes the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), University of Southern California (USC), and New York University (NYU). A total of 480 men and women will be enrolled and followed over the project period. Participants are seen annually for the core study, which consists of a comprehensive interview covering medical history and health care utilization, psychosocial status, alcohol and substance use history, sexual behavior, food and material needs insecurity, and neurocognitive assessments. Bio-specimens are collected for immediate testing and for the repository for future studies. Participants also undergo a medical exam, pulmonary function tests, and echocardiograms, among other clinical assessments. In addition to the core study, the consortium also has a number of independent — though linked — ancillary studies that produce data available to the whole cohort.
