Testing THRIVE 365 for Black Sexual Minority Men (On The Daily)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Medication Adherence, Depressive Symptoms, Anxiety Symptoms, Emotion Regulation

In brief

The primary goal of this study is to test a minority stress model of psychological health outcomes for Black sexual minority men (BSMM) while using and not using a novel intervention named THRIVE 365. THRIVE 365 combines mHealth and institutional support elements to provide four areas of support for BSMM: 1) Promote HIV and psychological health knowledge and motivation; 2) Foster a sense of community and positive social connections among BSMM; 3) Connect clients to BSMM-affirming healthcare, including HIV treatment and mental healthcare; 4) Provide resources for housing, transportation, and other economic empowerment. To examine the effects of the intervention, we will utilize a 14-day daily diary study to capture daily intervention engagement, HIV and psychological health outcomes, coping, and experiences of racial and sexual minority stressors. We will first examine main associations between intervention engagement and HIV (antiretroviral treatment use) and psychological health (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, emotion regulation difficulties outcomes) outcomes, then consider how intervention engagement affects coping and attenuates the impacts of racial and sexual minority stressors during the 14 day period.
