Culturally-tailored cognitive behavioral stress management
The SmartManage CBSM intervention includes content that is of clinical relevance to sexual minority men dually diagnosed with HIV and cancer. Intervention content includes: co-management of HIV and cancer, strategies for self-advocacy, partnering with the health system and health providers, intimacy and disclosure concerns regarding both conditions, and contextual stressors (e.g., racial/ethnic minority status), stigmatization, assertiveness and communication skills, and self-efficacy in care coordination. Participants receive weekly 1.5 hour interactive group sessions online that focus on stress and self-management skill-building, and also receive access to didactic information regarding intervention content via the intervention website. Intervention length is 10 weeks. This intervention will be a version of SmartManage that is culturally-tailored for Latino populations.
