Timeline
Interventions
All SGM male survivors who meet inclusion criteria, including significant emotional distress, will complete pre-test measures and be randomized to 6-week Motivational Interviewing (MI) delivered by peers in online groups or 6-week MI with trauma-informed, SGM affirmative care delivered by peers in online groups. Participants will complete pre-intervention (baseline), end of the 6-week intervention, 60- and 120-days follow-up assessments via an online survey platform, to determine if there was an increase in formal treatment engagement, and any significant changes in mental health symptomology (i.e., PTSD, depression, high-risk drinking, and illicit substance use).
