The investigators will perform a prospective pragmatic randomized effectiveness trial to compare 2 linkage-to-care strategies. Permuted block randomization with 2 strata (i.e., <40 years of age or active IDU [defined as IDU within 30 days], or ?40 years of age without active IDU) and varying block sizes will be used to minimize imbalance, ensure appropriate numbers of patients in subgroups, and allow for efficient analyses. Allocation will be concealed by blinding block sizes and using the REDCap Randomization Module, a web-based platform to assign patients to arms (REDCap, Vanderbilt University, TN). Although patients will not be blinded to the interventions, they will be blinded to the outcomes. Also, a trained research assistant will perform all enrollment, including stratification and randomization. Clinical staff will not be blinded, however, to assignment.
