Two Gender Medicine
Experienced and anticipated discrimination during health care visits result in lower health care utilization rates, which contribute to persistent health disparities between transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals and the general population. Most strategies for improving health care delivery to TGD patients place the responsibility on providers, overlooking the role of medical systems and institutions in creating the environments where n…
Experiences seeking, sourcing, and using abortion pills at home in the United States through an online telemedicine service
A growing number of people in the United States seek to self-manage their abortions by self-sourcing abortion medications online. Prior research focuses on people's motivations for seeking self-management of abortion and experiences trying to obtain medications. However, little is known about the experiences of people in the U.S. who actually complete a self-managed abortion using medications they self-sourced online. We conducted anonymous in-de…
U.S. Abortion Care Providers’ Perspectives on Self-Managed Abortion
State-level restrictions on abortion access may prompt greater numbers of people to self-manage their abortion. The few studies exploring perspectives of providers towards self-managed abortion are focused on physicians and advanced practice clinicians. Little is known about the wider spectrum of abortion care providers who encounter self-managed abortion in their clinic-based work. To gain a deeper understanding of this issue and inform future c…

Facilitators were the binary organization of medical education and training, cisnormative system procedur…

Of these, 103 fulfilled review inclusion criteria. Most of the existing research presents findings on individual-level factors ass…

Consent and Sexualized Leisure in Sin City
This article deploys a sexualized leisure framework to analyze the management of consent at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), one of the largest and longest running conventions in the mainstream U.S. porn industry. Drawing on field observations in this naturalistic setting and observers post-Expo reflections, we explore the complexities of consent in a porn tourism scene. We corroborate our qualitative analysis with survey findings (n = 433…

Sexual Satisfaction in Monogamous, Nonmonogamous, and Unpartnered Sexual Minority Women in the US
Research on sexual satisfaction tends to focus mostly on heterosexual women and women in monogamous relationships. Sexual satisfaction among sexual minority women and women who are nonmonogamous or not partnered is under-researched. Through an online survey, we gathered data from 334 cisgender sexual minority women in various relationship configurations and assessed sexual satisfaction in relation to individual and interpersonal factors. Sexual s…
Factors Associated with Contraceptive Use in Women Who Have Sex with Women and Men
Women who have sex with women and men (WSWM) are less likely to use effective contraception and more likely to experience unintended pregnancies than their exclusively heterosexual peers. The authors examined contraception use among a community sample of 80 WSWM (defined as genital contact with at least one cisgender man and woman during the past 12 months) of reproductive age living in the Midwest. Authors determined if contraceptive use differe…
Influences of health care access on resilience building among transgender and gender non-binary individuals
Background: Health care disparities between transgender/gender non-binary individuals and the general population are well-documented and related to both interpersonal and institutional discrimination. Resilience has been found to buffer the negative health effects of discrimination among gender diverse individuals as well as other stigmatized populations. Aims : The purpose of this study was to identify and understand resilience related to health…
Expo sing Men's Gender Role Attitudes as Porn Superfans
Much contemporary debate about pornography centers on its role in portraying and perpetuating gender inequality. This article compares traditional gendered attitudes between cisgender men attending the Adult Entertainment Expo (n = 294) and a random sample of male respondents from the 2016 General Social Survey ( GSS ), a U.S. representative survey of general attitudes and beliefs collected every two years (n = 863).

Sexual Minority Women's Satisfaction with Health Care Providers and State-level Structural Support
Health and identity-related interactions between lesbian, bisexual, queer and pansexual women and their healthcare providers
Disclosure of sexual identity among sexual minority women is related to better outcomes and improved quality of care. The existing literature on sexual minority women's experiences of identity disclosure and related interactions with healthcare providers draws little distinction between different groups of sexual minority women, despite the different barriers, stigma and health outcomes that exist between them. This paper presents factors influen…

The Year’s Best
Sexual satisfaction is commonly defined and discussed in physiological terms of arousal and orgasm. Yet this narrow discourse does not accommodate the complex, multidimensional, and interpersonal aspects of sexual experience. To broaden and deepen our understanding of sexual satisfaction, we employed McClelland's (2014) holistic four-factor framework of sexual satisfaction in a theoretical thematic analysis of 39 behaviorally bisexual women's des…
We have to help each other heal
Over the past decade, the peer support role in the treatment of substance use disorders has become increasingly formalized. With the growing popularity of peer support interventions, it is imperative to understand the unique role of peer support specialists (PSSs). The current study is focused on women's roles as PSSs. Understanding women's paths toward their peer support work through their experiences is essential for the continued formalization…
Sexual Self-Identification Among Behaviorally Bisexual Men in the Midwestern United States
Unintended Effects of an Intervention Supporting Mexican-Heritage Youth
Participating in the parenting program can effectively curb heavy drinking behaviors in parents-an important mechanism through which one may expect changes in youth risk behavior. The practice, policy, and research implications of these unintended findings are promising to the overall effectiveness of a parenting intervention for Mexican-heritage families
Using Gis to Describe Risk and Neighborhood‐level Factors Associated With Substance Abuse Treatment Outcomes
Neighborhood‐level geographic factors may put individuals at risk of developing substance abuse problems. The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess the spatial distribution of risk in Buffalo, New York. The study serves as an example of how neighborhood geographical markers can be used to determine areas with elevated risk that may lead providers to better target and address substance use disorder prevalence in communities. Results show…
Acculturation and Life Satisfaction Among Immigrant Mexican Adults
The numbers of Mexican Americans living in the United States, many of whom are first generation immigrants, are increasing. The process of immigration and acculturation can be accompanied by stress, as an individual attempts to reconcile two potentially competing sets of norms and values and to navigate a new social terrain. However, the outcomes of studies investigating the relationship between levels of acculturation and well-being are mixed. T…
