This research examines how gender expressions in health messages influence perceived message effectiveness (PME) for sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults through perceived character similarity. In an online experiment, 1,113 SGM young adults were randomly assigned to view six anti-smoking messages portraying one of four gender expressions: feminine, masculine, gender expansive, or multiple gender. Findings indicated that messages with mu…
Sexual and gender minority patient (mis)representation in United States medical Licensing examination preparatory materials
PURPOSE: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients face wide-ranging health disparities. One potential source of these disparities is anti-SGM bias perpetuated in undergraduate medical education, including in United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLEs) and preparatory materials for these exams. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We screened 8,449 USMLE-style questions in the UWorld Step 2 Question Bank, the AMBOSS Step 2 Question Bank, and NBME Self-Asses…
Transgender and other gender minoritised assigned female at birth young adults’ perceptions of and experiences with human papillomavirus vaccination
Transgender and other gender minoritised individuals have lower human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion rates than the general population, and little is known about how gender minoritised young adults perceive and experience HPV vaccination. The aim of this study was to characterise perceptions of, experiences with, and recommendations to facilitate access to HPV vaccination among transgender and other gender minoritised assigned female at …
Incorporation of Trauma-Informed Care Into Entrustable Professional Activities for Medical Student Assessment
Trauma-informed precepting
PURPOSE: Traumatic experiences are ubiquitous and associated with negative impacts on health and wellbeing in patients, students, and clinicians. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a harm reduction framework that aims to minimize re-traumatization and the negative health impacts of trauma. TIC is increasingly being incorporated into undergraduate medical education (UME) curricula; however, to date, there is no standardized curriculum to support facult…

Reports high rates of depression and anxiety among community gender-based violence (GBV) counselors in India. • Explores how counselors experience and internalize structural failures as a personal emotional toll, often expressed through culturally situated idioms of distress • Demonstrates how institutional neglect and patriarchal structures shape the conditions of care and contribute to compassion fatigue. • Analyzes the moral dilemmas counselor…
Barriers, facilitators, and best practices for successful vaping prevention campaigns for sexual and gender minority youth
BACKGROUND: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) vape at higher rates than their heterosexual and/or cisgender peers. SGMY prefer SGM-specific anti-tobacco messaging; however, there have been no vaping prevention campaigns designed for SGMY. PURPOSE: Using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework, we sought to explore specific barriers, facilitators, and best practices for health promotion for SGMY that will i…
Disparities in depression and anxiety at the intersection of race and gender identity in a large community health sample
Promoting equitable sexual health communication among patients with minoritized racial/ethnic, sexual orientation, and gender identities
Roadmap for Trauma-Informed Medical Education
Research has established that trauma is nearly universal and a root cause of numerous health and social problems, including 6 of the 10 leading causes of death, with devastating consequences across the life course. Scientific evidence now recognizes the complex injurious nature of structural and historical trauma (i.e., racism, discrimination, sexism, poverty, and community violence). Meanwhile, many physicians and trainees grapple with their own…
Promoting Sexual and Gender Minority Health Clinical Skills Training for All Medical Students
Despite societal, legal, and cultural improvements in their well-being, sexual and gender minority (SGM) people in the United States still face substantial physical and mental health disparities that are exacerbated by physician stigma and lack of training. Although there have been efforts at medical schools nationwide to address these disparities and interweave SGM health education into existing preclerkship courses, opportunities to practice re…
Associations between sexual orientation, sex education curriculum, and exposure to affirming/disaffirming LGB content in two US-based cohorts of adolescents
Sexual health education experienced by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth varies widely in relevancy and representation. However, associations among sexual orientation, type of sex education, and exposure to affirming or disaffirming content have yet to be examined. Understanding these patterns can help to address gaps in LGB-sensitive sex education. Our goal in this study was to examine the prevalence and associations among abstinence-only u…
Antibias and Inclusive Language in Scholarly Writing
Harvard Medical School’s Sexual and Gender Minority Health Equity Initiative
PROBLEM: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations face numerous health disparities. Medical school curricula lack adequate educational content preparing students for serving SGM patients, and medical students typically do not experience welcoming, inclusive educational environments conducive to learning about SGM health care. APPROACH: In 2018, Harvard Medical School (HMS) launched the 3-year Sexual and Gender Minority Health Equity Initiativ…
Factors associated with transmasculine adults recently engaging in sexual behavior with partners of unknown STI and HIV status
Trauma-Informed Medical Education (Time)
The majority of patients and medical students experience some form of psychological trauma or adversity across their life course. All forms of trauma can be associated with adverse health consequences and can negatively affect learning and professional development. Trauma-informed care (TIC) offers a framework to address and mitigate these consequences and promote safety and health. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration de…
Correlates of psychological intimate partner violence with HIV care outcomes on patients in HIV care
Psychological IPV, even in the absence of physical or sexual IPV, appears to be associated with HIV care outcomes and should be included in IPV measures integrated into routine HIV care
Enacting power and constructing gender in cervical cancer screening encounters between transmasculine patients and health care providers
Transmasculine people are at risk of cervical cancer but have lower rates of cervical cancer screening than cisgender women. Disaffirmation of the patient's gender and unequal power dynamics between patient and provider during screening contribute to patient unwillingness to be screened. The mechanisms by which the balance of power may be shifted between patient and provider, and by which gender is constructed during the Pap test, are not well un…

Contraceptive Beliefs, Decision Making and Care Experiences Among Transmasculine Young Adults
Health care providers and facilities should provide transmasculine people with tailored contraceptive information and care that address their specific gender-affirmation needs and contraceptive preferences in safe, inclusive and supportive clinical settings
Neighborhood Characteristics and Colorectal Cancer Survivors' Quality of Care
Purpose: Quality cancer care entails receipt of a Survivorship Care Plan (SCP). The purpose of this study was to determine differences in SCP delivery by patient-level and neighborhood characteristics. Methods: We obtained California cancer registry data on individuals who were diagnosed with stage I, II, or III colorectal cancer (CRC) between 2012 and 2015 and resided in predetermined geographic areas. We then mailed them a questionnaire, which …
Inequities in tobacco advertising exposure among young adult sexual, racial and ethnic minorities
Sexual minority women of colour and black heterosexual women and men have increased encoded exposure to certain forms of tobacco ads. Further research is needed to address the impact of tobacco ads among multiple minority individuals based on sex, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity
Human Papillomavirus Risk Perceptions Among Young Adult Sexual Minority Cisgender Women and Nonbinary Individuals Assigned Female at Birth
Interventions providing sexual minority AFAB individuals with comprehensive, accurate and tailored information about HPV risk are needed
Traumatic encounters with Frank Mechau's Dangers of the Mail
This essay examines Frank Mechau's infamous mural Dangers of the Mail as an opportunity to theorize the force of memories contingent upon immediate sensual encounters that operate largely irrespective of actual historical occurrences. Through an analysis of public documents, archival material from the 1930s and early 2000s, and two separate tours of the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building in 2015 and 2016, we argue Mechau's Dangers of the …
Sensitive Health Topics With Underserved Patient Populations
Online focus group discussions provide an anonymous environment to assess sensitive, health-related experiences that may be difficult to discuss utilizing traditional face-to-face modalities, particularly for marginalized populations such as female-to-male trans masculine (TM) transgender individuals. This article reviews the history, advantages, and disadvantages of online focus groups, with an emphasis for research about sensitive issues with s…

It Can Promote an Existential Crisis
Transmasculine (i.e., female-to-male transgender) individuals have lower rates of cervical cancer screening than nontransgender women and often report negative experiences with the Pap test. Deciding to undergo screening and the test experience itself are characterized by the following processes: negotiating identity as the patient, provider, and insurance company wrestle with the degree of (in)congruence between a patient's masculine gender iden…

Adherence to Mammography Screening Guidelines Among Transgender Persons and Sexual Minority Women
We used retrospective (2012–2013) chart review to examine breast cancer screening among transgender persons and sexual minority women (n = 1263) attending an urban community health center in Massachusetts. Transgender were less likely than cisgender patients and bisexuals were less likely than heterosexuals and lesbians to adhere to mammography screening guidelines (respectively, adjusted odds ratios = 0.53 and 0.56; 95% confidence intervals = 0.…
After Breast Cancer
Research on sexual difficulties after cancer has neglected sexual minority women (SMW); for example, lesbian and bisexual women. Clinicians treating these women are therefore at a disadvantage as they lack information about sexual problems in this population. This study tested the hypothesis that SMW with breast cancer have poorer sexual function than SMW without breast cancer, distinguishing partnered from unpartnered women. Using convenience sa…
Phenotypic and cytolytic activity ofMacaca nemestrina natural killer cells isolated from blood and expanded in vitro
Natural killer (NK) cells from nonhuman primates have not been completely characterized, and methods for expanding nonhuman primates NK cells in vitro have been described only in rhesus species. The purpose of this report was to characterize NK cells in pigtail macaques (Macaca nemestrina), a species that is frequently used in studies of transplantation biology/immunology, virology, vaccine development, and reproductive biology. NK cells from Mac…
Adopting Commodities
Despite legal recognition of adoptive families as legitimate families, research suggests that adoptive families face societal stigma because of their adoptive status. Although the research clearly identifies this stigma, the interesting question involves why this stigma persists. Researchers acknowledge that language surrounding adoption is negative but do not pursue what that language is or where it appears. This article seeks to determine how t…

Breast Cancer Risk in Sexual Minority Women during Routine Screening at an Urban LGBT Health Center
The Whiteness of Silence
Nakayama and Krizeck’s essay, “A Strategic Rhetoric of Whiteness” offers an understanding of Whiteness as cultural praxis operating beyond the narrow understanding of mere skin color. While scholars have added valuable contributions to the study of Whiteness, the discussion of the “strategic rhetoric” still lacks examples of embodiment. This essay seeks to demonstrate the deployment of Whiteness by describing a specific moment in which I was comp…

Perceptions of cervical cancer risk and screening among transmasculine individuals
Transmasculine people (individuals assigned a female sex at birth who identify as male or masculine) are at risk of cervical cancer. Despite low rates of Pap test use in this population, research examining the determinants of cervical cancer screening among transmasculine individuals is scarce. We conducted in-depth interviews and focus groups with 49 participants (32 transmasculine patients and 17 healthcare providers) in order to examine transm…
