Using a Syringe Service Program-Based Community Advisory Board to Expand HIV Testing, Overdose Prevention, and PrEP Linkage in a Southern Black Neighborhood
Navigating Sexual Health and Gender Identity in Homeschooling Contexts
Introduction Homeschooling has expanded rapidly in the United States over the past two decades and even more so in the post-COVID era. Yet little research has examined its implications for sexual and reproductive health education or gender identity development. Existing scholarship primarily centers parental motivations, leaving the lived experiences of homeschooled youth largely unexplored. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted betwe…
Demystifying Traumatic Experiences and Complex Effects in People with HIV and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Tennessee
Background: Compared with the general public, people with HIV (PWH) experience more psychological trauma and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet limited research explores how PWH may uniquely experience trauma. The primary goal of this study was to investigate trauma exposure typologies and sequelae among PWH to inform trauma screening and interventions. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience samp…
Exploring the Association Between Positive and Negative Social Support and Spiritual Well-Being
Previous studies have found that support that is uplifting in nature (i.e., positive social support) can have a positive influence on the spiritual well-being of individuals with chronic diseases. However, few studies have explored positive and negative social support's (i.e., the individual receiving the support feeling unsupported) impact. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between positive and negative social support and s…
PrEP Navigator Perceptions of the Implementation of Injectable PrEP on HIV Prevention in Tennessee
Tennessee is in the southern region of the United States and has not yet fully benefitted from HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Relatively little research has focused on pivotal roles of PrEP navigators. This study examined PrEP navigator perceptions of implementing long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP in Tennessee. Semi-structured interviews with state-funded navigators were audio-recorded, transcribed, and systematically coded using a hierarch…
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 …

Birth Outcomes Among People with Hepatitis C in Pregnancy — Three U.S. States, 2018–2021
Violence, Discrimination, Psychological Distress, and HIV Vulnerability Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Memphis, Tennessee
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionally impacted by HIV. Discrimination, violence, and psychological distress (PD) may influence engagement with HIV prevention services and amplify HIV vulnerability among this priority population. These dynamics are understudied in the Southern United States. Understanding how these relationships interact is critical to designing effective HIV programs. We examined associati…
An Engaged Community of Faith to Decrease HIV Stigma in the U.S. South

Perceived Skin Cancer Risk and Sunscreen Use among African American Adults
We examined perceived skin cancer risk and its relationship to sunscreen use among a large ( N = 1932) random sample of African American adults for the first time. Skin cancer risk perceptions were low (Mean = 16.11 on a 1-100 scale). Sun-sensitive skin type and a prior cancer diagnosis were associated with higher perceived skin cancer risk, but demographic factors were not. Unlike findings for Whites, perceived skin cancer risk was not associate…
