Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of writing interventions specifically designed for lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) emerging adults (ages 18-29) that are aimed at improving the outcomes: depression, suicidality, substance abuse and HIV risk behaviors.
Detailed Description:
This study is considered the third part ("Phase 3") of a larger study where parts one and two were designed to utilize elicitation focus groups to develop effective intervention materials (Phase 1) and then refine the developed materials through structured interviews (Phase 2). Phase 3 will test feasibility and assess early signs of efficacy of writing interventions. To do this, participants will be randomized to one of three arms (one arm will serve as control). Those that choose to participate will be asked to complete outcome measures (depressive symptoms, suicidality, use of alcohol and illicit drugs, HIV risk behavior) and measures of proposed mediators (self-reported and biological stress, behavioral and emotional self-regulation) and moderators (e.g., social support, identity centrality) at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. In addition, structured interviews with 15 intervention participants will be used to refine study procedures as the investigators scale up this intervention for a future randomized controlled trial (RCT).
