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.
