Summary

This study is a 2-arm RCT that will assess the efficacy of a culturally adapted, 10-session SGM-affirmative, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in Hunan province China. The affirmative treatment called ESTEEM is based on a minority stress-focused, CBT framework. In collaboration with colleagues at Central South University (CSU), the investigators will assess whether a culturally adapted version of iCBT ESTEEM demonstrates significant reductions in HIV risk behavior and mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety) compared to self-monitoring of stress and mood.
