  • Outcomes of a Pilot Mobile App Just-in-Time-Adaptive-Intervention Supporting Coping Skills in Trauma Affected People with HIV

    Open Access•Rayna E Gasik, Simone J Skeen et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2026

    People with HIV (PWH) experience trauma and mental health burdens at higher rates than seronegative individuals. Psychosocial interventions have shown promise for improving mental health and coping among PWH, but relatively few trauma-informed, coping-focused mobile health (mHealth) interventions exist. This pilot study evaluates the preliminary outcomes of NOLA Gem, a just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI)-based mHealth app designed to suppo…

  • Feasibility and acceptability of Let’s Talk Digital, a blended learning family strengthening and sexual reproductive health intervention for adolescents and their caregivers in South Africa

    Tonya R Thurman, Simone J Skeen et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2025

    a family-strengthening and sexual health program for adolescents and caregivers in South Africa. LTD uses a blended learning model combining seven in-person live sessions with 27 interactive smartphone-based eLearning modules tailored by audience. A total of 143 families (150 adolescents) were enrolled across rural and peri-urban Mpumalanga. Quantitative monitoring captured module completion and session attendance, while post-intervention surveys…

  • Psychosocial correlates of gender-affirming hormone and medically necessary surgical intervention use among transgender and gender diverse youth and young adults

    Open Access•Junye Ma, Donovan Ackley et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Sexual Orientation…•2025

    Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and medically necessary surgical interventions (MNSI) play vital roles in helping transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals align their bodies with their gender identity. However, research in this area has primarily focused on TGD adults, leaving TGD youth and young adults (TGD-YYA)'s experiences understudied. Even less is known about demographic and psychosocial correlates of hormone and MNSI utiliz…

  • Technology-Based Interventions, with a Stepped Care Approach, for Reducing Sexual Risk Behaviors and Increasing PrEP Initiation Among Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth and Young Adults

    Open Access•Cathy J Reback, Demetria Cain et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2024

  • The Impact of Childhood Adversity on Life Course Alcohol Use Patterns and Health Status Among People Living with HIV

    Open Access•Rayna E Gasik, Aubrey Spriggs Madkour et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2024

    Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and financial hardship are associated with increased likelihood of heavier alcohol use and health challenges in adulthood among persons living with HIV (PWH). We examined whether retrospectively captured lifetime drinking trajectories are a pathway through which childhood hardships affect current health in a sample of 365 adult PWH. Childhood economic hardship and ACEs were used as main predictors. Measures of…

  • Using Geographic Momentary Assessment to Explore Spatial Environment Influences on Wellbeing in People With HIV

    Open Access•Rayna E Gasik, Ethan A Smith et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2024

    Place-based socio-economic and racial inequities contribute to health disparities among people with HIV (PWH). We used geographic ecological momentary assessment (GEMA) methodologies to explore the interplay between psychosocial outcomes in daily diaries and community spatial measures among PWH in New Orleans. PWH (N = 69) were recruited from a clinic-based cohort study. Micro-longitudinal data were collected via smartphone-based daily diaries an…

  • The intersectional social patterning of early-Covid-era digital intimacies among transgender and gender-diverse young adults

    Simone J Skeen, Demetria Cain et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2024

    Interactive communications technologies facilitate identity formation and socio-sexual connection among transgender and gender-diverse young people. However, within their communities, variations in technology use along ethno-racial, sexual and gendered lines, and as facilitators of sexual resilience during the early COVID-19 pandemic, remain under-studied. Among N = 230 transgender and gender-diverse young adults, surveyed between October 2020 an…

  • The importance of domain-specific self-efficacy assessment for substance use and HIV care continuum outcomes among adults in an urban HIV clinic network

    Tyrel J Starks, Simone J Skeen et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2022

    Despite the prominence of self-efficacy as a predictor of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, relatively little work has examined domain-specific associations with steps in the care continuum or the possibility that substance use may have domain-specific associations with self-efficacy. This study analyzed data from a sample of 174 people living with HIV recruited through three clinics in the New York City metro area. Consistent with hypothes…

  • Effectiveness of a Combined Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Substance Use and Improve HIV-Related Immune Functioning
