# Integrated Behavioral Activation and HIV Risk Reduction Counseling for MSM with  Stimulant Abuse

> **NIH NIH R01** · BROWN UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $25,389

## Abstract

Project Summary
Mr. Harry Jin, an Asian American second year PhD student in the Epidemiology Department at
Brown University School of Public Health, and his mentorship team, Drs. Matthew Mimiaga and
Katie Biello in the US, and Donn Colby in Vietnam, propose to use the Research Supplement to
Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (PA-18-906) to conduct research to improve the
health of Vietnamese men who have sex with men (MSM) who use crystal methamphetamine
(“crystal meth”) and are at risk for HIV infection in Ho Chi Minh City. Specifically, Mr. Jin will
collect formative data to better understand acceptable treatment options and viable approaches
for addressing the crystal meth-use in the context of HIV risk behavior among Vietnamese MSM,
including how the intervention in the parent grant could be adapted for this context. This Research
Supplement will provide Mr. Jin the opportunity to enhance his doctoral training in conducting
research to improve access to health care services by populations at risk for HIV and to further
develop his skills in epidemiological methods and interventions for addiction treatment.
Additionally, this application provides a detailed mentorship plan, which outlines the structured
and rigorous training Mr. Jin will receive directly under the tutelage of his mentorship team as well
as through additional relevant coursework.
