Behavioral research has identified how relationship dynamics for male couples are associated with sexual risk behavior. Connect \u2018n Unite (CNU), an evidence-based HIV\/STI prevention intervention originally created for Black MSM and their same-sex partners, was adapted for predominantly Spanish-speaking Latino MSM and their same-sex partners on the assumption that its key elements would be translatable while its efficacy would be retained. A systematic adaptation process utilizing qualitative methods was used, including intervention adaptation sessions with 20 predominantly Spanish-speaking Latino gay couples and 10 health service providers. The process included five steps: (1) engaging community stakeholders, (2) capturing the lived experiences of Latino gay couples, (3) identifying intervention priorities, (4) integrating the original intervention\u2019s social cognitive theory into a relationship-oriented, ecological framework for Latino gay couples, and (5) adapting intervention activities and materials. The adapted intervention, which we called Latinos en Pareja or Latinos in a Relationship, incorporates elements that effective HIV prevention interventions share, including: a solid theoretical foundation; emphasis on increasing risk reduction norms, sexual communication skills and social support for protection; and guidance on how to utilize available, culturally and linguistically appropriate services. The systematic adaptation approach used for a couples-based HIV prevention intervention also can be employed by other researchers and community stakeholders to adapt evidence-based interventions that promote wellness, linkage to care, and disease prevention for populations not originally targeted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1557988315579195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,6]],"date-time":"2015-04-06T20:02:27Z","timestamp":1428350547000},"page":"181-195","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Adaptation of a Couple-Based HIV\/STI Prevention Intervention for Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men in New York City"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Omar","family":"Martinez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elwin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Frasca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew Zach","family":"Shultz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Columbia University, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
