简要总结
The primary goal of this study is to test a minority stress model of psychological health outcomes for Black sexual minority men (BSMM) while using and not using a novel intervention named THRIVE 365. THRIVE 365 combines mHealth and institutional support elements to provide four areas of support for BSMM: 1) Promote HIV and psychological health knowledge and motivation; 2) Foster a sense of community and positive social connections among BSMM; 3) Connect clients to BSMM-affirming healthcare, including HIV treatment and mental healthcare; 4) Provide resources for housing, transportation, and other economic empowerment. To examine the effects of the intervention, we will utilize a 14-day daily diary study to capture daily intervention engagement, HIV and psychological health outcomes, coping, and experiences of racial and sexual minority stressors. We will first examine main associations between intervention engagement and HIV (antiretroviral treatment use) and psychological health (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, emotion regulation difficulties outcomes) outcomes, then consider how intervention engagement affects coping and attenuates the impacts of racial and sexual minority stressors during the 14 day period.

结局指标
主要结局
Depressive Symptoms
时间窗: 24 Hours
The Patient Health Questionnaire-4 assesses anxiety and depressive symptoms. Participants rate the extent to which they had been experiencing each item the past day (e.g., "In the past 24 hours, I've been feeling down, depressed, or hopeless") on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (completely). We used an average across all items for each time point.
Anxiety Symptoms
时间窗: 24 Hours
The Patient Health Questionnaire-4 assesses anxiety and depressive symptoms. Participants rate the extent to which they had been experiencing each item the past day (e.g., "In the past 24 hours, I've been feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge") on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (completely). We used an average across all items for each time point.
Emotion Regulation
时间窗: 24 Hours
A validated four-item version of the Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale assesses emotion regulation. Participants rated the extent to which they had been experiencing each item (e.g., "In the past 24 hours, I've been experiencing my emotions as overwhelming") in the past day on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (completely). We used an average across all items for each time point.
Antiretroviral (ART) Medication Use
时间窗: 24 Hours
A single dichotomous no(0)/yes(1) item assesses ART use over the past 24 hours: "In the past 24 hours, did you take ART medication?"
