From February 2010 through December 2014, 585 substance-using MSM were enrolled into a "homegrown" risk reduction intervention. Participants evidenced significant iterative factor reductions in the odds of substance use including alcohol (AOR=0.79) and marijuana (AOR=0.78; both p≤0.05) and marginally significant reductions in the odds of methamphetamine use (AOR=0.83; p≤0.07). Participants also evidenced significant reductions in sexual risks including the odds of reporting drug/alcohol use before or during sex (AOR=0.80) and of condomless anal intercourse (AOR=0.72; all significant at p≤0.05). Results demonstrate that the homegrown intervention was effective at reducing HIV risk behaviors among high-risk MSM.
