  • Who Will Take Care of Us When We Get Older Than This?”

    Open Access•Suchon Tepjan, P A Newman et al.•ARTICLE•Sexuality Research and Social…•2026•References: 14

    Despite facing challenges that are distinct from their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts, few studies have engaged the voices and experiences of older-adult gay men and transgender women in Thailand. In-depth, semi-structured online interviews were conducted in Thai/Northern dialect to explore the lived experiences and perspectives of older-adult gay men (n = 9) and transgender women (n = 9) in rural, semi-urban, and urban settings in Chian…

  • Climate change, resource insecurities and sexual and reproductive health among young adolescents in Kenya

    Open Access•Carmen H Logie, Aryssa Hasham et al.•ARTICLE•BMJ Global Health•2025

    INTRODUCTION: Growing evidence supports linkages between climate change and extreme weather events (EWEs) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among adults. Yet knowledge gaps persist regarding climate-related experiences and pathways to SRH among young adolescents (YA). We conducted a multi-method qualitative study to explore climate change-related factors and linkages with SRH among YA aged 10-14 years in Kenya. METHODS: This six-site study…

    Open Access•Yu-Te Huang, Chenxi Yang et al.•ARTICLE•Social Policy and Society•2025

    Taiwan is regarded as the vanguard of LGBT+ rights in Asia. We conducted a scoping review to map research on LGBT+ inclusion in Taiwan, identify knowledge gaps and propose future directions for research and policy. Results indicate a predominant focus on health, with the over-representation of gay men and exclusion of lesbian and bisexual women and transgender/gender diverse people. Despite being the first Asian jurisdiction to legalise same-sex …

    Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and plus (LGBTQ+) related health concerns in medical training have historically been underrepresented or largely omitted. This review goes beyond the Global North and is one of the first scoping reviews to take a regional approach to understanding LGBTQ+ issues in medical training in Asia, a region that millions of LGBTQ+ people call home. A scoping review of peer-reviewed articles published from 2000 to…

    Open Access•Osman Wumpini Shamrock, Gamji Rabiu Abu-Ba’are et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    It can be challenging for sexual minority men (SMM) to decide whether or not to disclose their sexual orientation or behavior. The implications of this decision are significant, especially when considering how their family might react. We interviewed individuals living in slum communities (n = 12) in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana. Our study found that two factors primarily influenced the decision of SMM to disclose their sexual orientation. Firstly, SM…

  • A scoping review of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) people’s health in India

    Open Access•Venkatesan Chakrapani, P A Newman et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    Amid incremental progress in establishing an enabling legal and policy environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified people, and people with intersex variations (LGBTQI+) in India, evidence gaps on LGBTQI+ health are of increasing concern. To that end, we conducted a scoping review to map and synthesize the current evidence base, identify research gaps, and provide recommendations for future research. We conducted a sco…

  • Syndemic violence victimization, alcohol and drug use, and HIV transmission risk behavior among HIV-negative transgender women in India

    Open Access•Venkatesan Chakrapani, P V M Lakshmi et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2022

    Transgender women globally are disproportionately burdened by HIV. Co-occurring epidemics of adverse psychosocial exposures accelerate HIV sexual risk, including among transgender women; however, studies using additive models fail to examine synergies among psychosocial conditions that define a syndemic. We examined the impact of synergistic interactions among 4 psychosocial exposures on condomless anal sex (CAS) among transgender women in India.…

  • “She is the one who knows”

    Open Access•Andrea Mantsios, Ohvia Muraleetharan et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2022

    Despite documented interest among female sex workers (FSW), uptake of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been low. Recent trials and regulatory approval of long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP offer new hope for the potential of this biomedical intervention. We examined FSW’s PrEP-related interest and preferences regarding both oral and LAI PrEP situating these dynamics within their specific social and occupational realities…

  • PrEP eligibility, HIV risk perception, and willingness to use PrEP among high-risk men who have sex with men in India

    Venkatesan Chakrapani, P A Newman et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2022

    HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is not yet included in India’s national AIDS program, with demonstration projects for MSM in planning stages. In order to support PrEP roll-out for MSM, we assessed: (1) associations between guideline-informed PrEP eligibility, HIV risk perception, and perceived PrEP benefits and costs, with willingness to use PrEP (WTUP); and (2) correlates of non-WTUP among PrEP-eligible MSM. Data were collected from MSM (n =…

    Kangwan Fongkaew, Jan Willem De Lind Van Wijngaarden et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2022

    Young gay and other men who have sex with men and young transgender women in Thailand continue to be at high risk for HIV infection. We explored multilevel influences on HIV testing in order to inform the design of tailored interventions.

  • The procreative identities of men in same‐sex relationships choosing surrogacy

    Open Access•Sophia Fantu, P A Newman•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Theory & Review•2022•References: 37

    The growing visibility of same‐sex two‐parent families and the increased use of surrogacy have expanded LGBT parenting scholarship to include experiences of gay and other men in same‐sex relationships. Yet, even with the growth of research over the past decade on gay and other sexual minority men's parenting experiences, such studies are still undertheorized. The purpose of this article is to conceptualize an enhanced family theory model that add…

  • Bracketing in Qualitative Research

    Open Access•Lea Tufford, P A Newman et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Social Work•2010•Cited by: 211•References: 4

    Bracketing is a method used in qualitative research to mitigate the potentially deleterious effects of preconceptions that may taint the research process. However, the processes through which bracketing takes place are poorly understood, in part as a result of a shift away from its phenomenological origins. The current article examines the historical and philosophical roots of bracketing, and analyzes the tensions that have arisen since the incep…

    Homophobic bullying is pervasive and deleterious, and a source of extensive health and mental health disparities affecting sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY). Investigations conducted over the past two decades across the social ecology of SGMY indicate individual (e.g., gender), microsystem (e.g., schools), and exosystem level (e.g., community norms) factors associated with homophobic bullying. Emerging evidence at the macrosystem level demo…

    The acceleration of research with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations amid existing sexual prejudice and advancing human rights leads to sometime conflicting stances between researchers and ethics boards over acceptable methodological practices.

    Previous research has highlighted the association between HIV sexual risk behaviors, muscularity concerns, and masculinity among gay and bisexual men (GBM). A few studies that explored these issues, however, have used relatively small sample sizes and predominantly White GBM samples. In addition, little is known about whether a drive for muscularity and perceptions of masculinity are associated with HIV sexual risk behaviors among GBM of color. T…

    This paper investigates the effects of malaria control programmes on mortality and fertility rates, and hence on population growth, with special reference to Ceylon. The crude death rate (C.D.R.) by district in Ceylon fell sharply from pre‐1945 to post‐1945 on the average, and the variance between district C.D.R.s almost disappeared; it is shown that the near‐eradication of malaria can account wholly for the latter phenomenon but not completely f…

While extant psychosocial literature on HIV/AIDS focuses almost exclusively on the biomedical epidemic of disease, AIDS discourse is also a crucial arena for investigation.

These concepts will then be deployed…
