The Relationship of Anti-Transgender Discrimination, Harassment, and Violence to Binge Drinking among Transgender Adults
Purpose: Using a minority stress paradigm, this paper examines the relationship between anti-transgender discrimination, harassment, and violence among transgender adults. Methods: Data from the 2015 U.S. National Transgender Survey were used to examine twenty types of anti-transgender experiences/problems (e.g., harassment at work, problems with police officials, verbal and physical assaults) in a sample of 27,715 transgender Americans aged 18 o…
The “triple whammy”
This paper examines the conjoint effects of serious psychological distress, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse among transgender adults. The principal aims are to determine the prevalence of this “triple whammy,” identify the factors underlying the co-occurrence of all three problems, and to determine if there is evidence of syndemic effects underlying the “triple whammy.” Data from the 2015 U.S. National Transgender Survey were used to exami…
Transition Milestones, Psychological Distress, and Suicidal Ideation Among Transgender Adults
Reaching specific transition milestones plays an important role in many transgender adults' lives, and may be highly beneficial in helping them to reduce psychological distress. This, in turn, is likely to have a positive impact upon their likelihood of contemplating suicide
The Nexus of Sex Trading, Psychological Distress, and Suicidal Ideation Among Transgender Adults
Transition Milestones and Psychological Distress in Transgender Adults
Transition milestones (e.g., telling family members that one is transgender and beginning hormone treatments) are specific transition-related events in transgender persons’ lives that demarcate what their life circumstances were before versus after the milestone was reached. This article examines the relationship between transition milestones and psychological distress in a large sample of transgender adults. Data from the 2015 U.S. National Tran…
Alcohol and Condomless Insertive Anal Intercourse Among Black/Latino Sexual-Minority Male Non-PrEP Users
Marijuana Use and Sexual Risk Behavior Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex with Men in California
Exploring Awareness of HCV Among Sexual-Minority Black Generation Millennials and Gen Z
Why more men who have sex with men are not using PrEP–The role played by lack of interest in learning more about PrEP
Fueling the lack of PrEP use among MSM are a lack of interest in PrEP and an unwillingness to utilize existing information resources
Using Facebook as a Platform to Direct Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men to a Video-Based HIV Testing Intervention
Objective: A randomized control pilot study was conducted with Black men who have sex with men (BMSM; N = 42) aged 18–30 years to examine the feasibility of implementing a video intervention delivered using Facebook to motivate HIV testing. Methods: At baseline, participants were unaware of their HIV status and had not tested for HIV in the past 6 months, residing in Los Angeles County. The intervention content included topics such as social infl…
Factors Associated with HIV-Testing History among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men (BMSM) in Los Angeles County
Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) are disproportionately affected with HIV, and nearly half are unaware of their status. Those unaware of their status are more likely to engage in risky behavior; thus, HIV-testing uptake is crucial. This study explored correlates of past-two-year HIV-testing history. BMSM (n = 102) completed self-administered questionnaires. Fisher exact test indicated that BMSM at clubs/bars and Gay Pride events had higher …

Exploring the Use of Web-Based HIV Prevention for Injection-Drug-Using Black Men Who Have Sex with Both Men and Women
This study examined HIV prevention program needs from the perspective of injection-drug-using men who have sex with both men and women (IDU-MSM/W) involved in sex trade. Focus groups were conducted involving an exploratory sample (N = 105) of men who met the following parameters: African American, injection-drug-using behavior, men who have sex with men and women, and men who frequent parks and other areas for sex trade in Baltimore City and surr…
Recommendations for Performing Internet-Based Research on Sensitive Subject Matter with “Hidden” or Difficult-to-Reach Populations
Since the mid-1990s, the rapidly increasing popularity of the Internet has contributed to a situation in which many men turn to Web sites to find sex partners with whom they can engage in risky behaviors. Scholars only recently began to examine the role of the Internet in harm-seeking and help-seeking behaviors. They are just now beginning to study and understand how to apply public health promotion principles to people using the Internet. Due in…
The Relationship Between Self-Reported Sexual Orientation and Behavior in a Sample of Middle-Aged Male Injection Drug Users
Practice Notes
Recognizing that effective intervention must include models of treatment that “meet clients where they are,” this paper describes culturally sensitive breast cancer prevention strategies that may be useful for health care providers in an effort to reach a triple-minority population: Black, lesbian women. The strategies are an adapted version of the Witnessing In Tennessee (WIT) model. WIT was developed to increase early detection of breast cancer…
Optimizing Treatment Effects for Substance-Abusing Women With Children
Substance abuse among women is a significant national problem. Historically, the treatment of this condition has been difficult, but it has been even more challenging when the woman in treatment has had children. This article reports the results of an evaluation of the Susan B. Anthony Center (SBAC), a residential treatment facility for recovering women and their children. Researchers studied outcomes for 41 women who were first treated in a deto…
