Study Summary
Black young gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (B-YGBMSM) and transgender women (B-YTW) are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Youth in the House Ball Community (HBC), a subculture of the Black gay community that offers a social network to freely express diverse sexual and gender identities, are among the most at-risk for HIV infection and loss to care, but barriers exist to the provision of HIV services within this community. One barrier is the increasing rates of violence. Interventions are needed that will interrupt the cycle of violence within the HBC to allow for adequate provision of HIV services and increased access to HIV care. The investigators propose to tailor the Cure Violence model for violence prevention for developmental-appropriateness, cultural-specificity and HIV relevance, then pilot test the new intervention (#ChopViolence/#ChopHIV) with B-YGBMSM and B-TW in the Chicago HBC. The proposed research activities will take place in six steps. In Step 1, the investigators will hold Youth Advisory Board meetings, finalize our assessment battery and conduct multiple baseline assessments (months 3, 9 \& 15; n=75 per assessment point) at HBC venues to track trends in violence (i.e., intimate partner, HBC and neighborhood violence), HIV stigma, substance use, mental health, sexual risk and HIV care engagement. In Step 2, the investigators will employ ADAPT-ITT strategies for adapting evidence-based interventions including conducting a series of focus groups (n=32) with youth and leaders from the HBC in order to identify persuasive messaging around decreasing violence and improving HIV outcomes. Based on the focus group data as well as consultation with community experts, the investigators will then tailor the intervention to be relevant for the Chicago HBC and develop training materials along with standard operating procedures. In Step 3, the investigators will identify, recruit and train trusted members of the HBC to work as

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04769492
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04769492 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 525 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Hektoen Institute for Medical Research, which has 4 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with HIV appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which #ChopViolence/#ChopHIV is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04769492 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
