Stopped: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this health department-based trial ended early to limit utilizing clinic services and resources and to ensure participant and staff safety. This termination primarily affected the 12-month follow-up appointments.
This three-arm cross-over randomized trial will develop, test, and compare the efficacy of two delivery formats of the Young Women's CoOp (YWC), which is designed to provide risk reduction and empowerment skills, as well as linkages to healthcare services for women who use substances. The current study will develop a revised version of the YWC and evaluate the relative efficacy of a face-to-face (face-to-face YWC), mobile Health application (mHealth YWC) delivery format, and HIV counseling and testing (HCT) as a control to reduce risky sexual behaviors and reduce substance use among young (18-25) African American women who use substances and are sexually active and have not recently been tested for HIV in three NC counties.
