SUMMARY:#SafeHandsSafeHearts: A Peer-Delivered e-Health Intervention for Sexual and Gender Minority Adults amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Note: This is a hybrid event taking place at the University of Hong Kong \nFeatured speaker: Professor Peter A. Newman\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, Faculty Associate\, Joint Centre for Bioethics \nSexual and gender minority populations experience adverse social determinants of health that increase their vulnerability amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless\, public health responses operate from mainstream perspectives that fail to account for marginalization. \nWe developed a theory informed\, peer-delivered eHealth intervention based on motivational interviewing and psychoeducation to reduce depression and anxiety and increase COVID-19 knowledge and protective behaviors among LGBTQ+ adults in Toronto. We used a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test design\, with generalized estimating equations and zero-truncated Poisson models to evaluate the effectiveness of the 3-session intervention on the four primary outcomes. \nAmong participants (n=202; median age\, 27 years [IQR 23-32]) enrolled from March to November 2021\, the intervention led to statistically significant reductions in the prevalence of clinically significant depressive and anxiety symptoms and increases in Covid-19 protective behaviors from baseline to postintervention. Implementation through community-based organizations by peer educators supports feasibility\, acceptability\, and the potential for scale-up in future waves of COVID-19 or other public health emergencies. \n> Details and registration\n
