Emotional Burden and Selfcare Strategies Among Opioid Overdose Prevention and Response Personnel in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin, USA
INTRODUCTION: Opioid prevention personnel who interface with overdose events are at a risk of emotional challenges, though little research has explored their emotional experiences and self-care strategies. We explored the emotional experiences and self-care strategies to manage mental and emotional challenges among individuals who work in overdose prevention and response. METHODS: This was a qualitative study. Using a phenomenological approach, w…
Between co and solo writing
In this article, we describe what we’ve learned about writing through the development of our academic-creative writing group, a community initiated during the first lockdown of Spring 2020. Called The 100s, we adopted and adapted a format of writing popularised by the writer-theorists Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart in their publication, The Hundreds. Together, we share individually written creative reflections on everyday life and theory alo…
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination by Gender and Age in a Sample of Black Adults in Chicago
Although vaccine behaviors differ greatly by gender and age, few studies have examined vaccination at the intersection of gender and age within the Black community. We examined COVID-19 vaccination by gender and age using a survey of over 500 Black adults in Chicago, Illinois, fielded from September 2021 to March 2022. Although 54% had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine, the proportion vaccinated was considerably lower for Black men (28%) and…
Reimagining the university’s role in the health and well-being of the people it serves
Academic medical centers and university extension programs remain underdeveloped collaborators, despite the complementary objectives between translational science and extension. This case study details the creation of a nationally unique interprofessional organizational structure between the University of Missouri (MU) Office of Extension and Engagement (MU Extension) and the MU School of Medicine to accelerate statewide reach of research and edu…
Factors associated with PrEP use in a community sample of African American men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) in the United States Midwest
Black sexual minority men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States are at disparate risk for contracting HIV infection, but pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is suboptimal. Social network methods were used to recruit a community sample of racial minority MSM and transgender women (TGW) in two Midwestern US cities. 250 PrEP-eligible (HIV-negative) participants completed measures assessing current and intended PrEP use; demographic charac…
The bookshelf's 'magic circle
This article analyses classificatory encounters in a unique library with integrated academic and public book collections. Employing Walter Benjamin's image of the organised bookshelf as a ‘magic circle’ of independently relating items, I follow the choreography of classification in library spaces: from the formality of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) through which books are organised, to their resulting social life on the shelves, to the w…
Taking Live Methods slowly
This article contributes to literatures on sociological live methods by advocating for 'playing' with the concept of slow methods. Slow methods include a reflexive disposition towards the unfolding of social life in ordinary spaces (dwelling), the use of drawing as an embodied tool for understanding this unfolding (doodling) and the combination of these approaches into writing which deliberately seeks to evoke the liveness of the social world (de…
Farmer Suicide in Wisconsin
PURPOSE: There is a need to address suicide among farmers in the United States and understand what contributes to suicide among American farmers. The purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze narrative data to uncover circumstances that were present in the lives of farmers who died by suicide. METHODS: This study leverages data available in the National Violent Death Reporting System. For this study, we examined all suicides that occurred i…
Covid-19, Retention in HIV Care, and Access to Ancillary Services for Young Black Men Living with HIV in Chicago
Writing Alone Together
In late May, we established a tentative online writing project called The Hundreds. Adapting Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart’s project of the same name, our format has been to react to covid-lives in flash writing form – writing in 100-word multiples. Berlant and Stewart’s work flowed from their “Public Feelings Project”, where peers wrote on a “scene, thing, or situation” before reading the one hundred words aloud, and listening, “compositio…
University of Missouri–Columbia School of Medicine
The University of Missouri (MU) School of Medicine implemented a hybrid problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum in 1993, which we renamed “patient-based learning.” Almost 30 years later, our school is noted for USMLE Step 1 and 2 examination scores consistently above the national means, 96%–99% residency match rates, and positive responses to a survey of program directors who supervise our recent graduates (interns). In 2019, a study summarized v…
Informal workplaces and their comparative effects on the health of street vendors and home-based garment workers in Yangon, Myanmar
While informal employment is universally characterized by lack of social protection, exposure to occupational health and income risks for subpopulations of informal workers is determined by the specific physical and social environments of their workplaces. Efforts to improve the health of informal workers should consider the contexts in which informal work takes place to develop tailored interventions for subpopulations of informal workers
A longitudinal examination of factors associated with social support satisfaction among HIV-positive young Black men who have sex with men
This study examined the long-term predictors of social support satisfaction among HIV-positive young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). Data were collected across three waves between October 2012 and November 2014 as part of the baseline assessment from Project nGage, a preliminary efficacy randomized control study examining the role of social support in improving HIV care among YBMSM. The sample included 92 YBMSM aged 18-29. Major results …
The Effects of Housing Status, Stability and the Social Contexts of Housing on Drug and Sexual Risk Behaviors
Gang masculinity and high-risk sexual behaviours
High-risk sexual behaviours include practices such as relationship violence and substance use, which often cluster together among young people in high-risk settings. Youth gang members often show high rates of such behaviours, substance use and relationship violence. This paper draws on data from in-depth interviews with male and female gang members from six different gangs to explore the role of powerful socialising peer groups that set gender, …
Multiple Dimensions of Stigma and Health Related Factors Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men
The role of the Black Church in the lives of young Black men who have sex with men
In the USA, the Black Church is among the most important institutions in the Black community, offering numerous spiritual, social and health benefits. Yet, the presence of homonegativity in many Black Churches may mitigate those effects for gay Black youth. This research examines the role of the Church in the lives of gay and bisexual Black youth to understand how they reconcile any tension between their religious and sexual identities. Through i…
Gender Norms and Age-Disparate Sexual Relationships as Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence, Sexual Violence, and Risky Sex among Adolescent Gang Members
Homonegativity, Religiosity, and the Intersecting Identities of Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men
Project Backpage
The sex industry occurs in many venues, ranging from the highly visible survival sex trade on the street to venues such as regulated massage parlors and strip clubs, to less visible escort agencies making use of hotel venues, and the highly invisible exploitation that occurs through trick pads and microbrothels operating out of homes, apartments, or condos. In many communities, outreach efforts have focused primarily on direct face-to-face contac…
