Project EPOCH:  Education and Prevention for Online Community Health

​

While researchers have examined the role the Internet plays in risk taking and decision making among men who have sex with men (MSM) who go online to seek seek sexual partners, little is known about what virtual methods and strategies, if at all, can and should be used to promote safer sex behaviors. This project seeks to examine the feasibility and perceived effectiveness of Internet-based safer sex interventions specifically tailored toward sub-populations of MSM.
