What this research studies
This research investigates a new approach to case management for younger Black sexual minority men aged 18-35, focusing on improving their access to HIV care and economic stability services. The intervention involves a team of two case managers working closely with each client to provide tailored support and resources. By using a triadic network model, the study aims to enhance engagement in HIV care and prevention, while also addressing the professional development needs of the case managers involved. Data will be collected through surveys and electronic medical records over an 18-month period to assess the effectiveness of this intervention.

Not a fit: Patients outside the age range of 18-35 or those who do not identify as Black sexual minority men may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve access to HIV care and support services for younger Black sexual minority men.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar case management approaches in improving health outcomes for marginalized populations, indicating potential for this intervention.
