简要总结
Adolescent sexual minority males (ASMM) continue to account for a disproportionate number of HIV infections in the United States. Racial and ethnic minority populations are particularly affected. Increased HIV rates reflect sexual risk behaviors during early sexual experiences. Research suggests that initial sexual risk-taking occurs during adolescence among sexual minority males. Therefore, it is important for HIV prevention interventions to target adolescent sexual minority males. Targeting sexual minority males during adolescence will help them learn and establish healthy sexual behaviors early in their psychosexual development, which will have both immediate and long-term health benefits.To promote adolescent sexual minority males' critical examination of online media and decrease their sexual risk-taking, this study proposes an exploratory clinical trial to pilot test an online sexual health media literacy intervention that was developed during formative research for feasibility and acceptability. Overall, the proposed research has the potential to reach a wide audience of sexual minority males early in their sexual development, ultimately decreasing their sexual risk-taking and reducing the number of new HIV infections in this population.

结局指标
主要结局
Study Feasibility Based on the Overall Recruitment Rate
时间窗: approximately 4.5 months
The overall recruitment rate will be calculated by dividing the total number of participants enrolled (n=154) by the total number of eligible potential participants from the initial online screener (n=422).
Study Feasibility Based on Banner ad Click Through Rate for All Participants Combined
时间窗: approximately 4.5 months
The banner click through rate will be calculated as the proportion of banner ads that participants click each week and then averaged for an overall rate at the end of study completion.
Feasibility of the Media Literacy Intervention Based on Time Spent on the Intervention
时间窗: 90 minutes
The time spent on each piece of intervention content will be determined from their online use.
Mean Participant Satisfaction of the Intervention Content Areas Based on a 5 Star Rating System
时间窗: 90 minutes
Participants will be asked to rate each of the 9 content area using a 5-star rating system where 1 star is the lowest and 5 stars is the highest rating. A mean of all ratings will be calculated. The closer the mean is to 5.0, the higher the satisfaction with the content areas. Participants will also be given the option of providing written feedback on each piece of content as well.
Number and Percentage of Participants Who Complete All the Intervention Content
时间窗: 90 minutes
The online intervention will track what intervention content is viewed and the rate of participants who complete of all content will be calculated.
Count and Percentage of Participants Who Are Retained Through All Assessments
时间窗: approximately 4.5 months
The percentage of participants who completed all assessments divided by the number of enrolled participants
