The SHARE program is a new NIAAA-funded innovation in translational behavioral science created by Drs. Sylvie Naar and Karen MacDonell to explore and address overlaps of self-management of HIV and alcohol in emerging adults through a Florida-wide initiative. With the help of stakeholders' and youth-led input through connections across Florida, the SHARE program will allow young adults to be heard and studied to better understand the effects of alcohol on young people living with HIV.

The main goal of this study is to optimize dose and delivery methods of Health Choices - an already existent intervention method - to improve sustainability and overall capabilities.
Together, these three projects will synergistically demonstrate a continuous cycle of development, refinement, testing, implementation, and sustainment for the SHARE program.
WHY?
Young adults with high rates of HIV and alcohol use are least likely stay in care and reach viral suppression. As defined by the CDC, they are a population that is most heavily effected by the epidemic. Recruiting this target population in the state of Florida will help us understand the hindrances, issues, and thought processes of this at-risk group and thus increase a greater overall public health impact.
With decades of experience in interventions for YPLWH, alcohol/substance use, supporting populations most heavily effected by the epidemic, community engagement, and implementation science, this program aims to use this experience to reach another at-rosk population for improving overall health in communities across Florida!
