When I Look in the Mirror, I Want to See a Healthy Body”
Breast cancer is a significant cause of cancer death in young women in the United States. Inherited pathogenic variants, like BRCA1 and BRCA2, contribute to an increased lifetime breast cancer risk in this population. For women with a known pathogenic variant but without a previous cancer diagnosis, also known as "previvors," the bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy (BRRM) most effectively reduces breast cancer risk. However, this surgery often cau…
Vasectomy Services in Title X Family Planning Clinics
These findings highlight some common barriers experienced by clinics and organizations funded by Title X, as well as the facilitators and ways in which barriers are mitigated. By adopting successful strategies to facilitate vasectomy services and mitigate barriers, Title X-funded clinics can meet potential increases in demand for vasectomy services and ensure equitable access to uninsured and underinsured individuals
Photovoice in the Health Science(s) Classroom
As a response to a call for more diverse and innovative teaching techniques in the classroom, we explored the pedagogical possibilities of photovoice, a community-based participatory research method where participants use photo-stories to raise their individual and collective consciousness around concerns. We used a photovoice presentation in a large Midwestern university undergraduate health sciences class with the aim of helping students better…
Thinking Outside the Researcher
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is now commonplace in myriad disciplines from sociology to psychology to environmental science and health and medicine. In the context of my home discipline, public health, CBPR is a collaborative research approach where participants and researchers co-design projects and move them to action to improve health outcomes. CBPR occurs on a lengthy continuum from minor (e.g., community advisory boards) to …
Chronicling the Photovoice Dissemination Process
Disseminating images is a critical part of the photovoice process to move ideas to action. Viewers can help translate participants' experiences to change. Yet, we know relatively little about the decisions made around photovoice dissemination or how photovoice images affect audiences. Relatedly, the audiences of photovoice remain understudied. To help close this gap, we describe a community-academic team's process of moving photovoice results to …
Understanding Vasectomy Services’ Models of Care, Training, and Financing Among Title X Family Planning Providers
Background and Objective: Recent evidence suggests an increased demand for vasectomies following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturning Roe v. Wade . Limited published information on vasectomies provided by publicly funded agencies exists. This study seeks to understand and document vasectomy services in Title X Family Planning health centers, including models of care, provider training, and financial strateg…
How Midwestern College students protected their families in the first year of Covid-19
Introduction: College students routinely visit their families due to geographic proximity and their financial dependence. Consequently, the potential of transmitting COVID-19 from campus to their families' homes is consequential. Family members are key sources of support for one another in nearly all matters but there is little research uncovering the mechanisms by which families have protected each other in the pandemic. Methods: Through an expl…

Data describing health education campaigns for COVID-19 on university and college campuses are lacking, however. Purpose: This study explored college students’ experiences of a USA campus COVID-19 campaign encouraging masking, social distancing and handwashing. Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with 33 dem…
Undergraduate Vaccine Hesitancy and the Influence of “Home” Locales
There is a link between county-level health and geographic characteristics, and individuals'-who were influenced by those counties because that is where their parents live-hesitancy towards vaccines. Identifying feasible, precise, local solutions to reducing vaccine hesitancy could take place if community members and other stakeholders would be open to changes in local-level health policy or practice
Covid Is Another Layer of Problematic Things”
The COVID-19 pandemic not only had detrimental effects on physical health but also had adverse effects on college students' mental health. This paper begins to fill a gap in knowledge related to the contextual factors that impacted college students' mental health during COVID. Using in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of 33 college students at a Midwestern university, during Spring 2021, we highlight the pandemic's role in shaping college s…
Sustaining an HIV Prevention and Wellness Program for Sexual Gender Minorities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Improving mental health, body image, and financial stability is paramount to achieving viral suppression and maintaining HIV-negative status for minoritized communities. The purpose of this paper is to describe the lessons learned from maintenance of an HIV prevention and wellness program during the COVID-19 pandemic. A three-session program was implemented in a hybrid format to account for county-wide restrictions and reopening processes. Lesson…
Strengths despite stress
We examined the association between social-structural stressors-racial discrimination, incarceration, and unemployment-and depressive symptoms among 578 predominantly low-income urban Black men, ages 18-45. We also examined the extent to which two protective factors-social support and problem-solving coping-moderated the relationship between social-structural stressors and depressive symptoms. Results showed that more everyday racial discriminati…
Triggers or Prompts? When Methods Resurface Unsafe Memories and the Value of Trauma-Informed Photovoice Research Practices
In this article, we describe a case study in which the method and approach to understanding internalizations of stigma may have both triggered and prompted suppressed memories and past trauma to reemerge. Drawing from trauma informed care approaches, we outline strategies to bear in mind for future studies

A Qualitative Scoping Review of Transgender and Gender Non-conforming People's Physical Healthcare Experiences and Needs
Trans and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people experience poor health care and health outcomes. We conducted a qualitative scoping review of studies addressing TGNC people's experiences receiving physical health care to inform research and practice solutions. A systematic search resulted in 35 qualitative studies for analysis. Studies included 1,607 TGNC participants, ages 16–64 years. Analytic methods included mostly interviews and focus groups; …
Listening to Transgender Patients and Their Providers in Non-Metropolitan Spaces
Trans and gender non-conforming (TGNC) patients need better care; providers need TGNC focused medical trainings. TGNC health conferences can help, yet these events occur mostly in urban centers. Meanwhile, patients in non-metropolitan areas often face significant discrimination and notably poor access to TGNC care. This study explores the ongoing needs of TGNC patients and their providers following a one-day TGNC health conference in a small town…
How black heterosexual men’s narratives about sexual partner type and condom use disrupt the main and casual partner dichotomy
Sexual partner types and partnership dynamics have important implications for condom use. Yet most HIV prevention research conceptualises condom use as individual-level rather than dyadic-level behaviour. Evidence of a generalised HIV epidemic in urban predominantly low-income US Black heterosexual communities highlights the need for a culturally and contextually-grounded understanding of partner types, partnership dynamics and condom use from th…
Digital storytelling
Individuals who cannot make sense of a significant death are more likely to experience bereavement complications than those who are able to reconcile their loss with existing or newly-developed ways of understanding the world. Digital Storytelling, a multi-media narrative technique, has been identified as a potential facilitator of meaning-making processes. In this secondary qualitative analysis, researchers described the meaning-making processes…

We conducted photovoice projects with women living with HIV/AIDS (N=21) to explore opportunities and challenges associated with the method. Photovoice provided a means to achieve two key principles of ethical public health practice: It gives participants opportunities to define their health priorities, and facilitates participant …
Measuring the pros and cons of what it means to be a Black man
Although extensive research documents that Black people in the U.S. frequently experience social discrimination, most of this research aggregates these experiences primarily or exclusively by race. Consequently, empirical gaps exist about the psychosocial costs and benefits of Black men's experiences at the intersection of race and gender. Informed by intersectionality, a theoretical framework that highlights how multiple social identities inters…
I'm a Keep Rising. I'm a Keep Going Forward, Regardless
A growing number of health and social science research findings document Black men's adversities, but far less is known about their strengths. The purpose of this study was to explore resilience among low-income, urban, Black men. Semistructured interviews produced rich narratives, which uncovered numerous sociostructural stressors in men's lives, such as racism, incarceration, and unemployment. Most men were resilient despite these challenges, h…

Measuring minority stress
The Minority Stress Model posits that experiences of proximal and distal stress increase gender and sexual minority risk for poor mental and physical health outcomes. Psychological researchers of minority stress have utilised a variety of measures to capture these stressors, but currently no measures have been assessed for invariance across transgender and LGBQ individuals. The present study assessed the measurement invariance of the Everyday Dis…

Capturing Experiences of Youth With ASD via Photo Exploration
Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience significant challenges transitioning to adulthood, but we have few firsthand accounts of these issues due to youth’s limited participation in research. In this study, we utilized a qualitative methodology, Photovoice, to understand youth’s perspectives on becoming adults. We recruited 11 youth with ASD, aged 18 to 25, from urban and rural counties in Missouri. Youth described their experiences …
Shattering the Myth of Invulnerability
Developing effective safer-sex programs for women living with HIV/AIDS (WLH/A) is a national HIV prevention priority. Existing programs focus predominantly on heterosexual women's experiences and ignore the needs of sexual minority women (SMW). Thus, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 sexual minority WLH/A to better understand their sexual risk behaviors and corresponding HIV prevention needs. Most of the interviewees were African Am…

Exploring the Use of Photo-Stories and Fiction Writing to Address HIV Stigma Among Health Professions Students
HIV/AIDS stigma exists in healthcare and is harmful to people living with HIV (PLWH). Few anti-stigma interventions target undergraduate health professions students, although evidence supports reaching providers early in their training. We developed two different arts-based interventions based on Intergroup Contact Theory: a Photovoice intervention in which they viewed photo-stories of PLWH and a fiction writing intervention in which they develop…
A path analysis of racially diverse men’s sexual victimization, risk-taking, and attitudes
Nationally, 1 in 6 men report some form of sexual victimization in his lifetime, and rates differ across racial and ethnic groups. Although research has explored the relations between sexual victimization, sexual risk behavior, and sexual attitudes among women, a dearth of literature investigates these relationships among men. Using structural equation modeling among 284 racially diverse young men, this cross-sectional study tested the mediating …
