['FUNDING_P01'] · FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY · NIH-11173767
This project tries new behavioral approaches to help young adults (ages 18–29) living with HIV reduce alcohol use and improve day-to-day care of their condition.

What this research studies
This program focuses on emerging adults with HIV (ages 18–29) who often face unique challenges in managing HIV and alcohol use. Researchers will develop and test behavioral self-management approaches that teach skills like decision-making, self-control, and problem solving tailored to this age group. The work translates basic behavioral science into practical tools and interventions that can be used in clinics or community settings. If you join, you may be invited to take part in skill-building activities, counseling or coaching sessions, and follow-up surveys or health checks.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people aged about 18–29 who are living with HIV and who drink alcohol or want support with self-management.
Not a fit: People who are older than the target age range or who do not have HIV are not the intended beneficiaries, and those with very severe alcohol dependence may need specialized addiction treatment beyond the program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could help young people with HIV drink less, stick with HIV treatment, and better manage daily health demands.
How similar studies have performed: Previous behavioral self-management and skills-based programs have shown promise for improving adherence and reducing substance use, but tailored approaches for emerging adults with HIV are less commonly tested.
