• Description:
  Purpose:
  
  Rigorous adaptation methods are needed to revise existing evidence-based behavioral interventions for implementation for new target populations, revised/updated outcomes, new delivery modalities, recent advances, and new technologies. We describe an adaptation method designed to overcome the real-world challenges of having very limited existing expertise, resources, and time.
  
  Method:
  
  This adaptation method and accompanying visualization tool (“Deconstruction/Reconstruction Matrix”) preserves theoretical mechanisms of behavior change, accounts for challenges in utilizing new technologies, and strengthens clinical processes, with an emphasis on safety.
  
  Results:
  
  The adaptation of an in-person HIV behavioral intervention for sexual and gender diverse men in Kazakhstan to one delivered remotely via telecommunication and social media technologies exemplifies the process and strengths of the method, concomitantly resulting in recommendations for adaptation and implementation of mobile health (mHealth) and digital health interventions.
  
  Discussion:
  
  This method allows researchers and clinicians to adapt interventions rapidly and rigorously and to benefit from new technologies.
