SMART Trial Design

8Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: QSE Resp (Only follow)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who responded to QSE, were randomized at month-6 to no additional treatment, and then followed for the rest of the study.
Group II: QSE Resp (KIU at 6-month)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who responded to QSE, were randomized at month-6 to receive Keep It Up (KIU), and then followed for the rest of the study.
Group III: QSE Non-Resp, KIU-Control RespExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up-Control (KIU-Control), responded to KIU-Control at month-6, and then were followed for the rest of the study.
Group IV: QSE Non-Resp, KIU-Control Non-Resp, KIUExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up-Control (KIU-Control), did not respond to KIU-Control at month-6, and so were randomized into Keep It Up (KIU). After KIU, they were followed for the rest of the study.
Group V: QSE Non-Resp, KIU RespExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up (KIU), responded to KIU at month-6, and then were followed for the rest of the study.
Group VI: QSE Non-Resp, KIU Non-Resp, YMHPExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up (KIU), did not respond to KIU at month-6, and then were randomized into Young Men's Health Project. After YMHP, they were followed for the rest of the study.
Group VII: QSE Non-Resp, KIU Non-RespExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up (KIU), did not respond to KIU at month-6, and then were randomized into no treatment/just follow for the rest of the study.
Group VIII: QSE Non-Resp, KIU Control Non-Resp, YMHPExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
All participants enter Queer Sex Ed (QSE) and are measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12-months. This arm is comprised of participants who did not respond to QSE, were randomized at month-3 to receive Keep It Up-Control (KIU-Control), did not respond to KIU-Control at month-6, and so were randomized into Young Men's Health Project (YMHP). After YMHP, they were followed for the rest of the study.
