Community-engaged Intervention Mapping for CVD-prevention in Black and Latinx Sexual Minority Men with HIV in New York City: Protocol for A Web-based Mixed Method Study
ABSTRACT
Background:
Approximately every 37 seconds someone in the United States dies of cardiovascular disease. It has emerged as an important contributor to morbidity among HIV-infected persons. Data trends suggest that HIV prevention efforts have fared better in non-minoritized ethnic/racial populations, and that by the year 2030, an estimated 78% of persons with HIV will have cardiovascular disease.
Objective:
The purpose of this formative, mixed method study is to use a community-engaged approach to map a behavioral intervention for cardiovascular prevention in Black and Latinx men with HIV.
Methods:
Literature reviews, qualitative focus groups, interviews, and survey questionnaires with a total of 40 participants will be used as methods of data collection. Ten community leaders engaged in HIV programming and 30 community members will be included. To develop the protocol, we will follow steps 1 through 3 of intervention mapping, using mixed methods.
Results:
The study was approved by New York University Institutional Review Board in February 2021 (IRB-FY2021-4772) and also by the Yale University Institutional Review Board in June 2022 (2000031577). Data collection is ongoing. We anticipate completing data collection on or before December 2022. Early data suggests a strong interest in using a technology-enabled platform for CVD prevention education.
Conclusions:
Web-based, behavioral, CVD prevention interventions may be promising modalities to closing the cardiovascular health disparities gap in Black and Latinx sexual minority men with HIV. Clinical Trial: N/A
