Brief summary (registry, in English)
During the development phase (Aim 1), investigators will use a community-driven process to further refine a preliminary intervention design that was developed based on previous research. For the intervention phase (Aim 2), investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial of the multi-level intervention. For the individual-level component of the intervention, investigators will recruit 70 Chinese immigrant FSWs who work in MPs in Queens, NYC (n=35 intervention participants and n=35 control participants). To assess the feasibility and acceptability of intervention implementation (Aim 3), investigators will conduct in-depth qualitative interviews with 12 FSW study participants and the 2 peer advocates and focus groups with 4-5 staff from each of the 3 organizations (3 focus groups total and 12-15 focus group participants in total).
