Summary
The overall aim of the research study is to develop and test a mindfulness-based program for young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV (Brown University IRB approved protocol #2004002698). Researchers have completed Aim 1 of the broader study, which was to use qualitative, community engaged methods, along with a quantitative online survey, to inform intervention development with the study population. The next phase of the intervention development (Aim 2 - registered here), involves seeking feedback on the developed mindfulness program through an open-pilot with 18 participants from the same study population (young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV).
