Summary

The overall aim of the research study is to develop and test a mindfulness-based program for young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV (Brown University IRB approved protocol #2004002698). Researchers have completed Aim 1 of the broader study, which was to use qualitative, community engaged methods, along with a quantitative online survey, to inform intervention development with the study population. The next phase of the intervention development (Aim 2 - registered here), involves seeking feedback on the developed mindfulness program through an open-pilot with 18 participants from the same study population (young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-Based Queer Resilience (MBQR)

"Mindfulness-based Queer Resilience (MBQR)" is an internet delivered group-based, LGBTQ affirmative mindfulness program designed to address minority stress and promote mental and sexual health among young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men. The intervention group will meet once a week for up to 2.5 hours for nine weeks. Participants will receive free training in meditation, mindful movements, and in directing mindfulness-based skills towards enhancing things like stress recovery, sleep, resilience, cognitive performance and social relationships. MBQR was adapted from the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. Customization of the curriculum was developed by queer researchers and teachers, with input from the LGBTQ community.
