IDCR, a forum for correctional problem solving, targets correctional administrators and HIV/AIDS and hepatitis care providers including physicians, nurses, outreach workers, and case managers. Continuing Medical Education credits are provided by Nova Southeastern University Health Professions Division (NSU) to physicians who accurately respond to the questions on the last page of the newsletter.

The editorial board and contributors to IDCR include national and regional correctional professionals, selected on the basis of their experience with HIV and hepatitis care in the correctional setting and their familiarity with current HIV and hepatitis treatment. We encourage submissions, feedback, and correspondence from our readership.
