Brief Electronic Intervention for Heavy Drinking and Sex Risk Among MSM Seeking HIV Testing
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Alcohol Abuse
In brief
The overall objective of this research is to use both qualitative and quantitative data to inform the development of a technology-based intervention for heavy drinking and sexual risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are seeking free HIV testing. Investigators will be conducting a randomized-controlled pilot test of the intervention among MSM seeking HIV testing in community-based settings to explore its potential impact on alcohol and HIV-related behavioral outcomes. This research will ultimately produce a combined, theory-based, and technology- delivered intervention for heavy drinking and sex risk that is fully portable and has been preliminarily tested for efficacy in community settings where high-risk MSM engage with prevention services.
