This study is a randomized controlled trial that will compare an enhanced HIV counseling intervention called the Bruthas Program to a standard HIV counseling and testing program. The trial aims to recruit 400 African American men who have sex with men but do not identify as gay from the San Francisco Bay Area. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the enhanced counseling intervention focusing on identity, safer sex skills, and regular HIV testing or the standard program. The effectiveness of the enhanced intervention will be evaluated based on whether it reduces sexual risk behavior more than the standard program based on behavioral assessments at 6 and 9 month follow ups.

The goal of Integrating HIV Innovative Practices (IHIP) is to enable health care providers to implement proven innovations within their own practices and clinics. This Webinar is the second in a three part series featuring grantees of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative on Jail Linkages, as they share lessons learned and advice for others hoping to create or expand similar programs.
Learn how to build a new jail linkage program and what to consider for expanding an existing one. Jail Linkages SPNS grantees—including Dr. Timothy Flanigan of Miriam Hospital, Alison Jordan of New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and Dr. Ann Avery of Care Alliance Health Center describe the steps their programs took to implement their respective jail linkage programs, and provide advice for others hoping to replicate this work.

The composition of the evaluation stakeholders will fund and authorized the continuation or expansion of the Colorectal Cancer Prevention Program. The stakeholders are responsible for day to day implementation of the activities that are part of the program, and has a strong influence on the development of thoughtful evaluation questions that will generate evaluation findings that are useful, relevant, and credible (assuming the evaluation applies the appropriate design and data collection and analysis methods). Ideally, the evaluation stakeholders gro ...

A randomized controlled trial of the bruthas program
1. A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Bruthas Program
Investigators: Emily A. Arnold (Academic PI) and Stephanie Cornwell (Community Co-PI)
Project Partners: Michael Benjamin, Raysean Ford, William Stewart, Shakema Snow,
Elizabeth Bartmess, Stuart Gaffney, Susan Kegeles, Carla Dillard Smith, Don Operario, Tor
Neilands, and Lance Pollack
This study is a randomized controlled trial of the Bruthas Program, an enhanced HIV counseling
intervention, which involves HIV counseling and testing (HIV-CT) plus a series of individual
sexual health promotion counseling sessions. The Bruthas Program will be compared to a
standard program involving HIV counseling, testing and referral to general case management
services. The enhanced counseling intervention sessions will address: (a) increasing comfort with
one’s personal identity, (b) building safer sex skills, and (c) increasing regular HIV testing for
men who are negative. A sample of 400 African American MSMW who do not identify as gay
will be recruited from the San Francisco Bay Area. After receiving HIV counseling and testing,
half will be randomly assigned to the enhanced intervention condition and half randomly
assigned to the standard program. All participants will complete baseline, 6 month follow up,
and 9 month follow up behavioral risk assessments using an audio computer-assisted interview.
A subset of participants will also complete post-intervention qualitative interviews to provide in-
depth experiential insight into the intervention process. The effectiveness of the enhanced
counseling intervention will be evaluated by the primary outcome, which is the reduction of
sexual risk behavior among men participating in the enhanced intervention compared to men in a
standard HIV-CT program. This work is a collaboration between the Center for AIDS Prevention
Studies (University of California, San Francisco) and the California Prevention and Education
Project (CAL-PEP) in Oakland, CA. The team works out of a shared understanding that service
providers, researchers, and community members must collaboratively work together to create
solutions that can mitigate the spread of HIV/AIDS in the African American community.
