What this research studies
This effort partners directly with young people living with HIV and local stakeholders to shape how studies and services are offered. You would see targeted social media ads, an easy e-consent process, and a SHARE website designed with input from peers. The core centralizes recruitment, onboarding, retention, and assessments for three related projects to make participation smoother. A two-way web portal and stakeholder reviews will keep communication and procedures responsive to community needs.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Florida who drink alcohol or are at risk and are willing to engage with web-based outreach or research activities.
Not a fit: People who do not have HIV, those living outside Florida, or individuals who cannot or will not use online tools are unlikely to benefit directly from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could make it much easier for young people with HIV to learn about, join, and benefit from programs that help reduce harmful alcohol use.
How similar studies have performed: Community-engaged recruitment and digital outreach have helped enroll hard-to-reach youth in prior HIV and substance-use efforts, though centralizing recruitment across multiple projects is a less common approach.
