Heavy Drinking and Sexual Risk Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility of an mHealth + Brief Intervention for Heavy Drinking African American and Latino MSM: A Pilot Study
Randomized controlled pilot trial to test the feasibility and efficacy of a brief intervention with app-based messaging to reduce sexual risk behavior and heavy drinking among Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino MSM.
This study seeks to develop and provide an initial test of a brief intervention to reduce alcohol use and sex risk behavior among Black and Latino men who have sex with men [BLMSM]. The study seeks to recruit BLMSM who are non-monogamous, not currently on pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP], have engaged in condomless anal intercourse over the past 6 months, who have engaged in heavy drinking defined as >14 drinks per week or at least 1 heavy drinking episode (5+ drinks on a single occasion) in the past month. All participants will complete baseline measures about past month behavior and if eligible will be assigned to the intervention condition or an assessment only condition. The intervention consists of a single brief video-conferencing intervention coupled with 4 weeks of mobile-messaging related to individualized goals about alcohol use and sexual behavior. Follow-up assessments are scheduled for 4 weeks after baseline (upon completion of the mobile-messaging component of the intervention) and 2 months after baseline. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and mobile-messaging components. Secondary outcomes are changes in frequency of condomless anal intercourse and heavy drinking episodes. ;
