Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall objective of this research is to use both qualitative and quantitative data to inform the development of a technology-based intervention for heavy drinking and sexual risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are seeking free HIV testing. Investigators will be conducting a randomized-controlled pilot test of the intervention among MSM seeking HIV testing in community-based settings to explore its potential impact on alcohol and HIV-related behavioral outcomes. This research will ultimately produce a combined, theory-based, and technology- delivered intervention for heavy drinking and sex risk that is fully portable and has been preliminarily tested for efficacy in community settings where high-risk MSM engage with prevention services.

Intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brief Electronic Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The brief electronic intervention will allow users to receive normative feedback based on their alcohol use and sexual activity. Users who show interest in changing their behavior will also be asked to create a plan to do so.

Attention-matched control

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Attention-Matched Control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will view a video clip on general health promotion that is a similar length as the intervention arm.
