Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability and test the initial efficacy of eSBI, (electronic screening and brief intervention for alcohol use) coupled with STTR (Seek, Test, Treat, and Retain) in comparison to STTR only among YMSM (young men who have sex with men) and YTW (young transgender women) on frequency of substance use and engagement within the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) care continuum.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability and test the initial efficacy of eSBI, (electronic screening and brief intervention for alcohol use) coupled with STTR (Seek, Test, Treat, and Retain) in comparison to STTR only among YMSM (young men who have sex with men) and YTW (young transgender women) on frequency of substance use and engagement within the HIV and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) care continuum. We will do this with the following aims: Aim 1: Assess the feasibility, acceptability and initial efficacy of electronic Screening \& Brief Intervention + Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (eSBI+ STTR) compared to STTR-only to reduce alcohol and other substance use among 450 YMSM and YTW in Chicago, ages 16-25, at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-intervention. Aim 2: To explore the initial efficacy of eSBI+STTR in comparison to STTR-only on secondary exploratory outcomes within the HIV and PrEP care continuum among YMSM and YTW. Aim 3: Determine the degree to which sub-groups of youth are differentially impacted by eSBI+STTR based on socio-demographic characteristics and co-morbid mental health problems to inform future targeting and/or tailoring of the intervention.

Conditions

• HIV
• Substance Use

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Alcohol Use BI	Those who are randomized to the intervention will complete eSBI, an electronic brief intervention for substance use, which is comprised of 11 topical areas, each with a single webpage, in a motivational interviewing (MI) format. MI is a client-centered behavioral change approach.
BEHAVIORAL	Nutrition Intervention	Those randomized to the control will complete the attention control modules, a non-active brief time-matched attention control intervention of equal length (i.e., encouraging nutrition).
