Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The objective is to expand and refine an intervention for transgender women (TW) into a
7-session individual- and group-based intervention that is scalable for community settings to
reduce sexual risk and substance use and to increase stigma-coping and risk-buffering
behaviors among TW in NYC. The investigators will pilot test the intervention with 20 TW and
subsequently, conduct a randomized controlled trial with 240 TW to compare the intervention
to a wait list control condition.
