Summary
This study features a 2-arm randomized controlled trial with approximately 300 young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) to assess the effectiveness of the 3T mobile app. To be eligible participants will be required to identify as male; Black, African-American, or biracial Black/African American; age 14-19 at baseline; self-identify as gay, bisexual, fluid, or sexually attracted to men; own a smartphone, and reside in any state in the United States. Those in the treatment arm will be provided with the 3T app and those in the control group will be given access to a website with general health materials.
