Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study seeks to develop and provide an initial test of a brief intervention to reduce alcohol use and sex risk behavior among among men who have sex with men. The study seeks to recruit MSM who are non-monogamous, have engaged in unprotected anal intercourse over the past 3 months, and who have engaged in heavy drinking defined as \> 14 drinks per week or at least 1 heavy drinking episode (5+ drinks on a single occasion) in the past month. All participants will complete baseline measures about past month behavior and if eligible will be assigned to the intervention condition. This intervention consists of a single brief in-person intervention coupled with 4 weeks of text messaging related to individualized goals about alcohol use and sexual behavior. Follow-up assessments are scheduled for within 1 week of completion of the text messaging component of the intervention. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and message components. Secondary outcomes are changes in frequency of unprotected intercourse and heavy drinking episodes.
