Clinical Trial Summary

The research team has developed an interventional group program for young men living with HIV and will be adapting it for telehealth delivery. The purpose of the study is to determine whether or not this program can help improve social connections and the health of young men in online delivery and evaluate its potential for implementation in a community setting. The study has three phases: (1) engaging a community advisory board to create and adapt the intervention for online delivery, (2) a randomized clinical trial of the online intervention, and (3) evaluation of the program for community implementation with our partner organization. Participants in the second phase of the study will meet with a study team member to discuss the research process and provide informed consent. The community organization employees will provide consent online prior to completion of a survey and indicate whether they consent to be contacted further for in-depth interviews.


Clinical Trial Description

Subjects will participate in synchronous, online discussion sessions via videoconference for two hours per week over a six-week period. Sessions will include engaging educational components and interactive activities including discussions of case scenarios and sharing of personal experiences where desired. At the end of each videoconference session, participants will be asked to complete a brief session evaluation form in which they will rate the content, facilitation, and overall experience for the week. The long-term goal is to improve engagement across the HIV continuum of care (HIV-CoC) by enhancing individual- and community-level resilience processes among young Black gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (YB-GBMSM) living with HIV. To this end, the research team has used community-based participatory research methods to develop Brothers Building Brothers by Breaking Barriers (B6), a novel group-level intervention designed to affirm intersectional identities and augment social capital among YB-GBMSM. The goal of this current study is to adapt and pilot B6 for telehealth delivery (creating tele-B6) within the context of an established community-based organization (CBO), as a strategy for enhancing feasibility and scalability prior to a larger efficacy trial. ;
