This project seeks to test the efficacy of a brief eHealth intervention in an international randomized controlled trial (RCT) to increase COVID-19 knowledge and protective behaviors, and reduce psychological distress among LGBT people. This project involves enrolling racially diverse samples of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in three cities, randomizing 900 people (stratified among cisengender men, cisgender women, and transgender people) to either the immediate behavioral intervention or the waitlist control condition. Participants will complete a baseline survey, a follow-up survey 2 weeks post-intervention, and a final survey 2 months after the post-intervention survey. Primary outcomes are COVID-19 transmission knowledge, COVID-19 protective behaviors, and psychological distress.
