Survey Group
n=673 Participants
Collect alcohol and sexual activity data via web survey from 673 young MSM to yield normative data for the alcohol and HIV preventive intervention in a follow-up study Survey: Respondents meeting inclusion criteria will be informed they were selected for the longer survey and continue to the survey. Upon completion, the survey will generate a study identification (ID) that respondents will provide to study staff with additional contact information via phone, text or email to be compensated
Focus Group/Individual Interview
n=24 Participants
24 young MSM who drink regularly to inform the content of the alcohol and HIV preventive intervention tested in the UH3 phase and ensure the intervention is culturally appropriate for MSM. Survey: Respondents meeting inclusion criteria will be informed they were selected for the longer survey and continue to the survey. Upon completion, the survey will generate a study identification (ID) that respondents will provide to study staff with additional contact information via phone, text or email to be compensated Focus Group: After informed consent, participants will complete the web-based intervention component in development. Afterward, participants will be engaged by an experienced facilitator in a discussion of aspects of the intervention they liked and disliked and suggestions they have for enhancing its cultural appropriateness to young MSM.
Usability Study
n=10 Participants
10 young adult MSM will test the mobile intervention in development for 30 days in order to establish usability, acceptability and correct any functionality issues. Survey: Respondents meeting inclusion criteria will be informed they were selected for the longer survey and continue to the survey. Upon completion, the survey will generate a study identification (ID) that respondents will provide to study staff with additional contact information via phone, text or email to be compensated Usability study: After informed consent, participants will utilize the mobile intervention in development for 30 days to establish usability, acceptability and correct any functionality issues.

Standard Deviation 6.92
2.22 events
Standard Deviation 3.23
7.17 events
Standard Deviation 9.39

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to one month

Population: Acceptability was assessed only among participants in the usability study

Participants in the usability study will report on the acceptability of the interactive voice response (IVR) system and the personalized feedback produced based on their IVR responses. On a modified System Usability Scale, participants in the usability study will report on the acceptability (i.e., perceived value, liking) of the interactive voice response (IVR) system and the personalized feedback produced based on their IVR responses. Items were rated on a 1-7 scale with higher scores indicating greater usability. The acceptability subscale is made up of 5 items. The score reported below is the mean of these five items.

Study Participant Opinions on Acceptability of Intervention Content
5.50 score on a scale
Standard Deviation 1.51

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 month

Population: Acceptability and usability data were collected only from the usability study

On a modified System Usability Scale, participants in the usability study will report on the usability of the interactive voice response (IVR) system and the personalized feedback produced based on their IVR responses. Items were rated on a 1-7 scale with higher scores indicating greater usability. The usability subscale is made up of 4 items. The score reported below is the mean of these four items.
