This article published in AIDS and Behavior examined the impact of MLP services for housing, employment, and public benefits on the adherence to medical treatment and viral load suppressions of people with HIV compared to treatment-as-usual. 202 people with HIV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were part of the study. At 3-month follow-up, MLP participants were significantly more likely to achieve viral suppression.

This article published in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics reports outcomes from one medical-legal partnership from the perspective of patient-clients. Patients who received legal services had improvements in physical health, including asthma control, and mental health benefits, such as reduced anxiety. MLP involvement also reduced caregiver stress, enabling parents to focus on their child’s health.

The Georgetown University's Cancer Legal Assistance and Well-being Project launched in 2020 as a medical-legal partnership that works with health care providers at a Washington, D.C. safety-net hospital to treat the health-harming legal needs of historically and intentionally marginalized patients with cancer. Preliminary data support the estimate that the project has secured over $700,000 for patients in the form of insurance coverage, disability benefits and other income supports, paid leave, and debt relief. The findings were published in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved.
