Job and Health Outcomes Among Transgender and Gender-Diverse Nurses
Introduction: Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals face health disparities and workplace discrimination, yet the job and health outcomes of TGD nurses remain underexplored. Purpose: To investigate how gender identity affects job and health outcomes. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 52,491 nurses (52,455 identifying as cisgender and 36 as TGD) in New York and Illinois surveyed in 2021. Job outcomes were burnou…
Self-Reported Psychosis Spectrum Symptoms Among Sexual and Gender Diverse Emerging Adults Screened for a Suicide Prevention Trial
Psychosis spectrum symptoms, including a range of unusual thoughts and perceptual abnormalities, are markers of increased vulnerability to psychotic disorders. Sexual and gender diverse (SGD) populations experience higher rates of psychotic disorders than the general population, raising the possibility that emerging adult SGD individuals may also report elevated psychosis spectrum experiences. We hypothesized that SGD emerging adults would report…
System-Level Factors Contributing to Burnout and Professional Well-Being Among Transgender and Gender-Diverse Nurses
Introduction: Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) health care professionals face significant burnout, yet evidence on system-level factors such as workplace discrimination that contribute to this issue among TGD nurses is limited. Responding to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ call for research on burnout among health care staff from diverse demographic backgrounds, this study aimed to examine the system-level factors affecting …
The relationship between racial discrimination in healthcare, loneliness, and mental health among Black Philadelphia residents
Addressing racial discrimination within healthcare settings is crucial for improving mental health outcomes among Black populations. Given the significant role of loneliness in this relationship, interventions aimed at reducing loneliness may help mitigate the adverse mental health effects of racial discrimination in healthcare for Black populations
How Organizational Inclusion Shapes Patient Satisfaction in Magnet Hospitals
OBJECTIVE: Magnet hospitals exhibit higher patient satisfaction than non-Magnet hospitals, yet the underlying mechanisms driving these differences remain underexplored. This study examined the associations between Magnet status, hospitals' inclusion efforts for diverse populations, and patient satisfaction, and whether inclusion efforts explain Magnet hospitals' higher satisfaction. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed 2023 secondary data…
Multilevel Examination of Hospital Participation in the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI)
The Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) evaluates compliance with LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and other sexual and gender diverse individuals) inclusion in U.S. health care facilities and is associated with greater patient satisfaction. We examined how hospitals’ metropolitan location and state-level LGBTQ+ health care policies are associated with voluntary HEI participation and performance. This cross-sectional…
Trust in federal Covid-19 vaccine oversight and parents’ willingness to vaccinate their children against Covid-19
Trust in federal COVID-19 vaccine oversight was associated with parental willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 among parents whose children have not yet been vaccinated. Identifying and addressing causes of mistrust are crucial next steps to promote child vaccination. Intervention efforts to address trust gaps should remain a public health priority
History of Rectal Product Use and Country of Residence Influence Preference for Rectal Microbicide Dosage Forms Among Young Sexual and Gender Minorities
Anti‐LGBTQ+ sex education laws
Anti‐Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and/or Queer (LGBTQ+) education laws are defined as laws that prohibit or limit schools from discussing same‐sex relationships, broader sexuality, and gender issues in their sexual education curriculum. This study presents a historical context of anti‐LGBTQ+ sex education laws, examines the extant literature on the possible impact of these laws, and suggests recommendations for schools and school practitioners.…
Direct and indirect effects of cannabis risk perceptions on cannabis use frequency
Among emerging adults who consume cannabis regularly, findings suggest that a greater perceived risk of cannabis-related harm is associated with decreased cannabis use frequency via increased use of cannabis PBS. Although future analyses evaluating causal mechanisms are needed, these findings have clinical implications for harm reduction interventions focused on cannabis use
The impact of stigma on HIV testing decisions for gay, bisexual, queer and other men who have sex with men
GBQMSMs' perspectives indicate the potential for new foci for HIV testing promotion interventions based on stigma-related issues that they deem important. There is a need for interventions to challenge the "promiscuity" stereotype, and to reduce the sexual stigmatization of GBQMSM living with HIV/AIDS-especially online. Provider stigma requires both intervention and continued availability of specialized services. Future stigma-reduction intervent…
Leveraging Resilience-supportive Strategies to Enhance Protective Factors in Young Sexual Minority Men
Behavioral HIV interventions focused on strengthening young sexual minority men's (SMM) internal (assets) and external (resources) protective factors are promising, yet their evaluation as resilience-supportive strategies to minimize or negate HIV-related risks remain understudied. The objective of this scoping review was to describe resilience-supportive intervention strategies that have been used to achieve desired HIV behavioral outcomes and t…
Methods in HIV-Related Intersectional Stigma Research
Researchers are increasingly recognizing the importance of studying and addressing intersectional stigma within the field of HIV. Yet, researchers have, arguably, struggled to operationalize intersectional stigma. To ensure that future research and methodological innovation is guided by frameworks from which this area of inquiry has arisen, we propose a series of core elements for future HIV-related intersectional stigma research. These core elem…
Building Community in the HIV Online Intervention Space
BACKGROUND: Mobile health platforms can facilitate social support and address HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) stigma but pose challenges for intervention design and participant engagement. Giddens's structuration theory, that individuals are shaped by-and shape-their communities through rules and resources that give them power to operate within these environments, provides a useful analytic framework for exploring these dynamic intervention sp…
Barriers to HIV Testing and Opportunities for Expansion Using Home-Based HIV Self-Testing
HIV incidence among young adult men-who-have-sex-with-men (YMSM) is among the highest in the United States (US), yet YMSM have lower rates of HIV testing than most other MSM. Among 1,835 U.S. Black, Hispanic, and White YMSM who reported condomless anal intercourse (CAI) in the prior year, 30% (95% confidence interval [CI]: [28%, 32%]) had not been tested for HIV in the past year as recommended by national guidelines, and 19% (95% CI: [17%, 21%]) …
Patterns of same-day alcohol and cannabis use in adolescents and young adults with risky alcohol use
Same-day alcohol and cannabis use is relatively common in adolescents and young adults, constituting a higher-risk behavior relative to single-substance use. However, the association between quantity of alcohol and cannabis use on co-use days is understudied. We examined the association between the quantity of alcohol and same-day cannabis use with a multilevel regression analysis in a sample of youth (16-24 years old) with risky alcohol use. Par…
Drivers and barriers to workplace-based HIV self-testing among high-risk men in Uganda
We recommend the involvement of employers in workplace-based HIV self-testing to encourage participation by employees. There is need for HIV self-testing support both during and after the testing process. Both employers and employees recommend the use of non-monetary incentives, and regular training about HIV self-testing to increase the uptake and acceptability of HIV testing services at the workplace

Getting Clear About Rectal Douching Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Relationship Timelines, Dyadic Interviews, and Visual Representations
Increasingly popular in qualitative and mixed-methods research design, visual timelines help organize participants' life histories with an emphasis on temporality and the context in which important life events and experiences take place. Often, research using timelines focuses on individual participants. Yet, we know that life events, experiences, and decisions that individuals highlight in life history and narrative forms of research are relatio…
Assessing the Role of Gay Community Attachment, Stigma, and PrEP Stereotypes on Young Men Who Have Sex with Men’s PrEP Uptake
Are Sexual Minority Stressors Associated with Young Men who Have Sex with Men’s (YMSM) Level of Engagement in PrEP
Sexual minority stressors (community homophobia, sexuality-related discrimination, and internalized homonegativity) are negatively associated with accessing HIV prevention services among men who have sex with men (MSM). Few studies have tested minority stressors' associations with PrEP engagement among high-HIV risk young MSM (YMSM). Therefore, we assessed the associations between PrEP-indicated YMSM's progression along the PrEP continuum and the…

Trajectory of use over time of an oral tablet and a rectal gel for HIV prevention among transgender women and men who have sex with men
We examined product adherence among 187 men who have sex with men and transgender women enrolled in a phase II, crossover trial comparing safety and acceptability of an oral tablet and a rectal gel used daily for HIV prevention. Participants reported adherence via daily text messages during 8-week periods. Trajectory analysis identified weekly patterns. Polytomous logistic regression identified characteristics associated with higher probability o…
Thinking About the Future as a Way to Succeed in the Present
Previous research has linked higher levels of hopelessness about one's future to violent behavior during adolescence; however, little is known about this relationship over time for adolescents. Using growth curve modeling, we tested the association between future orientation and violent behavior across the high school years of adolescence in a sample of African American youth (n = 681). Variation based on demographic characteristics (i.e., sex, S…
Relationship Trajectories and Psychological Well-Being Among Sexual Minority Youth
Gay and Bisexual Men's Use of the Internet
We document the historical and cultural shifts in how gay and bisexual men have used the Internet for sexuality between the 1990s and 2013-including shifting technology as well as research methods to study gay and bisexual men online. Gay and bisexual men have rapidly taken to using the Internet for sexual purposes: for health information seeking, finding sex partners, dating, cybersex, and pornography. Men have adapted to the ever-evolving techn…
Data Quality in HIV/Aids Web-Based Surveys
Invalid data may compromise data quality. We examined how decisions made to handle these data may affect the relationship between Internet use and HIV risk behaviors in a sample of young men who have sex with men (YMSM). We recorded 548 entries during the 3-month period and created six analytic groups (i.e., full sample, entries initially tagged as valid, suspicious entries, valid cases mislabeled as suspicious, fraudulent data, and total valid c…
Neighborhood Context and Perceptions of Stress Over Time
We examine the association between neighborhood socio‐economic disadvantage and perceived stress during middle and late adolescence among African American youth (N = 665; 51 % female; M = 15.9 years at baseline). In addition, we explored the ways through which neighborhood stressors interacted with an individual's intra‐ and interpersonal resources (e.g., coping, social support and substance use), to affect their perceived stress trajectories dur…
Psychological Distress, Substance Use, and HIV/STI Risk Behaviors Among Youth
A Longitudinal Analysis of Cumulative Risks, Cumulative Promotive Factors, and Adolescent Violent Behavior
This study examined the effects of cumulative risk and promotive factors on violent behavior across the high school years of adolescence in a sample of predominately African American urban adolescents (n = 750). Cumulative risk and promotive factor indices represented individual characteristics, and peer, parental, and familial influences. Using growth curve modeling, we describe trajectories of cumulative risk and promotive factors and test the …
Stressors in Multiple Life-Domains and the Risk for Externalizing and Internalizing Behaviors Among African Americans During Emerging Adulthood
Achieving Safety
Conceptualizations of safer sex practices among young gay men (YGM) are frequently structured around communication between partners and the subsequent utilization or absence of condoms in a sexual encounter. Drawing on a sample of 34 in-depth interviews with YGM, ages 18 to 24, we explore the ways in which conceptualizations and definitions of safer sex are discussed and enacted. Placing attention on their safer sex practices, we analyze the conv…

Hypersexual Behavior and HIV Sex Risk among Young Gay and Bisexual Men
Hypersexual behavior has been identified as a sexual risk correlate among gay and bisexual men (GBM). The Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI) has been shown to be a reliable and valid measure of hypersexual behavior in clinical populations, yet it has not been used to assess hypersexual behavior in nonclinical samples. We examined the psychometric properties of the HBI with survey data recorded between December 2009 and March 2010 in a sample of…
Work and Sexual Trajectories Among African American Youth
The beneficial or deleterious effects of employment on youth and well-being have been highly contested. This study explores whether work influences youths' sexual risk correlates in a sample of African Americans (N = 562; 55% females; M = 14.5 years, SD = 0.6 years) followed longitudinally from adolescence to early adulthood. The study used growth curve modeling to test the association between number of hours worked and condom use, sex partners' …
Working in High School and Adaptation in the Transition to Young Adulthood among African American Youth
Children's Attitudes Toward People With Aids in Puerto Rico
AIDS stigma refers to prejudice and discrimination directed at people or groups perceived to have HIV/AIDS (Herek, 1999). Although AIDS stigma has been found in adolescent and adult populations, few researchers have explored it among children. Misconceptions about people with AIDS (PWA) might lead to negative attitudes toward PWA and obstruct HIV prevention efforts. The authors assessed 110 Puerto Rican children's attitudes toward PWA using drawi…
Sexual Prejudice Among Puerto Rican Young Adults
Sexual prejudice is linked to hate crimes, mental health, risk behaviors, and stigma. Few studies have examined sexual prejudice among Latinos. We surveyed 382 college students in Puerto Rico. A structural model tested whether contact and positive experiences with homosexuals, perceived similarities with peers' attitudes toward homosexuality, and religiosity were predictive of sexual prejudice among Puerto Rican young adults. Sex differences in t…

Adapting to Injustice
In this study, we link together moments of discrimination described by young bisexual women. We do so in order to theorize about associations between negative stereotypes heard early in one’s life and later minimization of personal discrimination. Using interviews with 13 young women, we sought to understand the types of negative messages participants heard about “bi/sexuality” as well as the ways that they perceived or did not perceive themselve…
LGBT Community, Social Network Characteristics, and Smoking Behaviors in Young Sexual Minority Women
Smoking rates among young sexual minority women (YSMW) are disproportionately high as compared to heterosexual populations. While this disparity has commonly been attributed to the sexual minority stress process, little empirical work has explored what may protect YSMW from high rates of smoking. Using data (N = 471) from a cross‐sectional study designed to investigate YSMW's (age 18–24) smoking behaviors and correlates; we explore the relationsh…
Condom Use Trajectories in Adolescence and the Transition to Adulthood
Few studies have investigated how mother and father support differ on predicting youths' sexual risk behavior. We therefore examined the influence of parental support on condom use trajectories and its correlates in a predominantly African American sample [(N=627; 53% female; M = 14.86 years (SD=. 64)] from adolescence to young adulthood. We used hierarchical growth curve modeling to examine the relationship between condom use, substance use, psy…
Trajectories of organized activity participation among urban adolescents
Organized activity participation provides opportunities for adolescents to develop assets that may support favorable outcomes in young adulthood. Activity participation may be especially beneficial for marginalized youth as they are likely to face stressors that increase risk of negative outcomes. We used growth mixture modeling (GMM) to identify activity participation trajectories among African American adolescents in an urban, disadvantaged com…

Assessing Motivations to Engage in Intentional Condomless Anal Intercourse in HIV Risk Contexts (“Bareback Sex”) among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Although condom use is an effective barrier against HIV transmission, some men who have sex with men (MSM) engage in bareback sex (unprotected anal sex in risky contexts) and increase their risk for HIV (re)infection. Understanding MSM's decision to bareback (vis-à-vis condom use) is essential to develop effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs for this population. An ethnically diverse sample of men who bareback (n = 120) was recruited exclusively…

What Predicts Sex Partners' Age Differences Among African American Youth? A Longitudinal Study from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
Partner age is associated with youth's sex risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infections. At present, however, it is not known whether the co-occurrence of other risk behaviors is associated with having older sex partners during adolescence and young adulthood. Using growth curve modeling, this study first describes the shape of the age difference between participants and their sex partners across adolescence and young adulthood in a sample …

A Prospective Study of the Onset of Sexual Behavior and Sexual Risk in Youth Perinatally Infected with HIV
Perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV+) youth are surviving into adolescence and young adulthood. Understanding the sexual development of PHIV+ youth is vital to providing them with developmentally appropriate HIV-prevention programs. Using pooled data (N = 417) from two longitudinal studies focused on HIV among youth (51% female; 39% HIV+) and their caregivers (92% female; 46% HIV+), the rate of sexual onset during adolescence across four youth-caregiv…
