Developing an Online Health Intervention for Young Gay and Bisexual Men
Open accessAbstract
Young gay and bisexual men continue to experience increases in HIV incidence in the US highlighting a need for competent health services, while the prominence of the internet in their social and sexual lives calls for novel preventive modalities. Toward this goal, we adapted an efficacious in-office HIV risk reduction intervention for online delivery. This paper describes the development of the online intervention and highlights the results of interviews and focus groups with the original intervention participants regarding effective adaptation and online delivery recommendations. The final intervention incorporates strategies for overcoming barriers to online intervention with this population and capitalizes on the unique strengths of online intervention delivery. The systematic process described in this paper can be used as a template for other researchers to develop online risk reduction programs and fills an important gap in the field's ability to maximally reach a critical risk group.

Incorporating minority stress treatment principles into internet-based and mobile delivery counseling programs and public sector health clinics can facilitate dissemination to rural, concealed, or low-income gay and bisexual men.
“For example, incorporating these minority stress treatment principles into internet-based and mobile delivery counseling programs (Pachankis, Lelutiu-Weinberger, Golub, & Parsons, 2013) and into public sector health clinics (Hellman & Klein, 2004) can facilitate dissemination of these treatment principles to rural, concealed, or low-income gay and bisexual men.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
