CLYMAX is a two-phase observational study that assess multiple aspects of chemsex and young men who have sex with men (YMSM).
Phase I of the study (CLYMAX,IRB No. 0695/65) was a cross-sectional descriptive study using a mixed methods data collection (focusing on qualitative data collection) assessing multiple aspects of chemsex, including the patterns of chemsex use and the perspectives on factors influencing chemsex initiation/discontinuation, effects on physical health, mental health and social outcomes, and the necessary services for a comprehensive chemsex clinic among YMSM; and the acceptability and feasibility of developing a comprehensive chemsex clinic from the perspective of YMSM, their family members or peers, and clinic staff.
This phase II study (CLYMAX-2) will be a prospective cohort study using a quantitative data collection exploring the effectiveness of the implementation strategy of harm reduction models and consist of a larger number of YMSM, important baseline and follow-up information on multiple aspects of physical, psychological, and social harms.
