This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the distribution of naloxone leave-behind kits by EMS providers …

Prioritizing Participant Safety During Online Focus Groups With Women Experiencing Violence
Although researchers have convened focus groups to collect individuals' opinions for some time, many have transitioned data collection from in-person to online groups. Online focus groups became even more important as COVID-19-related restrictions to movement and shared spaces interrupted the ability of researchers to collect data in person. However, little is published about conducting online groups with populations whose physical and emotional …
Correlates of condom use with “main” and “concurrent” sex partners among urban youth in post-conflict Liberia
This paper presents baseline findings on correlates of condom use with “main” and “concurrent” sex partners among Liberian youth (ages 15–17) in Liberia. With Liberia having recently emerged from fourteen years of civil war, this paper is one of only a few published reports of the sexual risk behaviors of urban youth residing in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital. The analysis was limited to highly, sexually active Liberian adolescents who reported havi…
The Roles of Perceived Neighborhood Disorganization, Social Cohesion, and Social Control in Urban Thai Adolescents' Substance Use and Delinquency
Substance use and delinquency in Thai adolescents are growing public health concerns. Research has linked neighborhood characteristics to these outcomes, with explanations focused on neighborhood disorganization, social cohesion, and social control. This study examines the independent associations of these neighborhood constructs with Thai adolescents' substance use and delinquency, through peer deviance, to determine which neighborhood aspects a…
Reducing sexual risk taking behaviors among adolescents who engage in transactional sex in post-conflict Liberia
Transactional sex (TS) has been correlated with HIV/STD infection, pregnancy, early marriage, and sexual violence in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Few Western-based HIV prevention programs adapted for SSA have examined intervention impacts for this group. This article examines whether an HIV prevention intervention, delivered to sixth-grade students in Liberia (age range 14-17) and found to increase condom use and other mediators for the larger sampl…
Correlates of Precoital Behaviors, Intentions, and Sexual Initiation Among Thai Adolescents
This paper examines the risk and protective factors associated with sexual behaviors among Thai youth ages 13-14 (N=420) living in Bangkok, Thailand. Cross-sectional data were collected using a random sample of households methodology. Three outcomes were assessed: (1) intention to engage in sexual intercourse, (2) pre-coital behaviors, and (3) sexual initiation. Bivariate analysis indicated that parental disapproval of sex, exposure to pornograph…
