DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The critical task of emerging adulthood, the life period when risk-behaviors peak, is the development of an integrated adult identity (professional, sexual and cultural). For young Hispanic men who are having sex with men (YHMSM) developing a gay identity in a culture whose traditional norms stigmatize and reject homosexual thoughts, feelings and behaviors and that expects strong adherence to cultural norms, this process can be particularly challenging and risky. Not only does it entail participating in behaviors that are not generally accepted by mainstream Hispanic culture, but they are doing so in Miami, a context where HIV prevalence among MSM is high. Urgently needed for YHMSM are tailored interventions that utilize effective, flexible approaches such as Motivational Enhancement Interventions (MEIs) that can be delivered through the Internet, a modality thoroughly embraced by young adults and one that offers much promise for intervention research. In this Stage 1a/b study, we will develop and pilot test a culturally and developmentally tailored MEI to reduce risky sex (unprotected anal sex and multiple partners) among YHMSM to be delivered face-to-face (FtF) and through the Internet using a real-time implementation approach. In Stage 1a, we will collect quantitative and qualitative data to identify the cultural, developmental, and personal factors associated with risky sex in YHMSM, develop a tailored MEI for two delivery modalities, and a health education control (HEALTH) comparable in time and number of sessions. We will recruit across-sectional sample of 100 YHMSM from community and Internet venues to complete an ACASI. We will supplement these data with 25 qualitative interviews, 10 key informant interviews and 6-8 focus groups to guide intervention development. In Stage 1b, we will test the newly developed MEI's acceptability and feasibility, obtain effect size estimates of the intervention's strength to reduce risky sex, and determine if it is ready to be moved to Stage 2 for efficacy testing. We will recruit a total of 90 YHMSM from community and Internet venues and randomly assign them to one of the 3 conditions (MEI-FtF; MEI-lnternet; HEALTH). Participants will complete assessments using ACASI at baseline, 3 and 6 month post intervention. After each session, they will complete acceptability and feasibility assessments. If the pilot trial shows promise, we will be well positioned to move the intervention to full-scale efficacy testing and advance prevention efforts for YHMSM.

描述（由申请人提供）：成年后的关键任务，即风险行为峰的生活时期，是成人身份（专业，性和文化）的发展。对于与男人发生性关系的年轻西班牙裔男人（YHMSM）在一种文化中发展同性恋身份的文化，其传统规范会污名化并拒绝同性恋的思想，感觉和行为，并期望强烈遵守文化规范，这一过程可能是特别具有挑战性的和风险的。它不仅需要参与主流的西班牙裔文化通常不接受的行为，而且他们在迈阿密这样做，这种情况是MSM中的HIV患病率很高。 YHMSM迫切需要的是量身定制的干预措施，这些干预措施利用有效，灵活的方法，例如可以通过互联网提供的动机增强干预措施（MEI），这是年轻人彻底接受的一种方式，并为干预研究提供了很多希望。在此阶段的1A/B研究中，我们将开发和进行试验测试在文化和发展上量身定制的MEI，以减少YHMSM之间的风险性别（未受保护的肛交和多个伴侣），以面对面（FTF）（FTF）以及通过实时实施方法通过Internet进行交付。在第1A阶段中，我们将收集定量和定性数据，以确定与YHMSM中风险性行为相关的文化，发展和个人因素，开发针对两种交付方式的MEI量身定制的MEI，并在时间和会议上进行健康教育控制（健康）。我们将从社区和互联网场地招募100 YHMSM的跨截面样本，以完成ACASI。我们将通过25种定性访谈，10个关键的线人访谈和6-8个焦点小组来补充这些数据，以指导干预开发。在第1B阶段，我们将测试新开发的MEI的可接受性和可行性，获得对干预措施减少风险性别的强度的效应大小的估计，并确定是否准备将其移至2阶段以进行功效测试。我们将从社区和互联网场所招募90届YHMSM，并将其随机分配到3个条件之一（MEI-FTF； MEI-LNTERNET； HEALTH）。参与者将在干预后3个月和6个月的基线时使用ACASI完成评估。每次会议之后，他们将完成可接受性和可行性评估。如果试点审判显示承诺，我们将有能力将干预措施转移到全面疗效测试并提高YHMSM的预防工作。
