Improving access to gender-affirming care
BACKGROUND: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals experience bias, discrimination, and heightened levels of psychological distress and suicidality compared to cisgender individuals. Gender-affirming care (GAC) is associated with decreased psychological distress among TGD individuals. Telehealth might help to address barriers TGD individuals face in accessing GAC because it enables patients to receive care in a safe, comfortable environ…

Exposure to Childhood Healthcare Discrimination and Healthcare Avoidance among Transgender and Gender Independent Adults during a Global Pandemic
Transgender and gender-independent individuals (TGI) encounter myriad barriers to accessing affirming healthcare.

Exposure to gender identity-related healthcare discrimination and erasure in childhood may contribute to TGI adults' healthcare utilization behaviors…

Experiences of Discrimination, Mental Health, and Substance Use among Bisexual Young Adults
Research suggests that experiences of anti-bisexual discrimination, otherwise known as biphobia, contributes to increased risk for mental health and substance use problems for bisexual individuals. The current study assessed whether experiences of biphobia predicted reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as substance use. Data from 226 bisexual participants (ages 21–35) were collected online from March 2019 until August 2019. Result…
Use of media sources in seeking/receiving sexual health information during adolescence among adults of diverse sexual orientations in a US cohort
The objective in this study was to examine the association between sexual orientation and seeking/receiving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information from media sources during adolescence. We analysed data from male and female participants (aged 23-35 years) from the U.S.-based Growing Up Today Study (GUTS) in 2016. Sex-stratified, multivariable log-binomial models adjusted for age, cohort and race/ethnicity were used to examine sexual ori…
U.S. transgender women’s preferences for microeconomic interventions to address structural determinants of HIV vulnerability
Flexible microeconomic interventions that support gender affirming interventions, improve financial literacy, and provide living-wage non-stigmatizing employment are desired by economically vulnerable transgender women. While not focused on HIV, such interventions have the potential to reduce the structural drivers of HIV vulnerability among transgender women
Self-Esteem and Non-Medical Use of Prescription Drugs among College Students
Objectives: Non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) has become a threat to public health. In the United States, NMUPD is especially common in young adults (aged 18-25). Self-esteem is a robust psychosocial factor of substance use. The substance use literature also documents that self-esteem is associated with alcohol use through other cognitive factors, such as coping. Given the important role of coping in substance use intervention, it is …
Combined effects of gender affirmation and economic hardship on vulnerability to HIV
Structural and policy initiatives that promote safe gender transition and economic stability in trans women may play a critical role in reducing HIV in this population. Addressing the harmful pressures for U.S. trans women to conform to perceived feminine stereotypes may also serve an important role
No strings attached”
Prior quantitative research with gay and bisexual men (GBM) has documented high rates of sexual risk behavior during recreational travel. Although some associations are known (e.g., substance use at the tourist destination is associated with sexual risk), less is known about GBM’s motivations for travel and the cognitive and attitudinal factors that influence their sexual behavior while vacationing. In the present study, we conducted qualitative …
Dependency Traits, Relationship Power, and Health Risks in Women Receiving Sexually-Transmitted Infection Clinic Services
In prior research, having traits consistent with a personality disorder has been shown to be related to substance use and high-risk sexual activity; however, few studies have examined relationships between dependency traits and health-jeopardizing behaviors. Individuals with traits consistent with dependent personality disorder may be more likely to be in a primary relationship characterized by unhealthy conditions, including physical abuse from …

A Qualitative Review and Integrative Model of Gratitude and Physical Health
Gratitude is seen as a central component of Christian theology, and the extant literature suggests that there is an important relation between gratitude and physical health and well-being. In the current review, we summarize 42 studies published since 2009 that inform this relationship. Based on the theoretical framework by Hill, Allemand, and Roberts (2013), we organize our review in three sections that focus on how gratitude influences physical…

In 2008, we conducted online interviews with 65 self-identified adult heterosexual men and women and gay/bisexual men to explore perceptions and experiences with meeting people online. Reasons for meeting people online, desired partner characteristics, and the process of connecting for sex paralleled those observed in real-life; but the Internet allowed people to identify more partners and specific partner characteristics. "Background checks" of …

Stigma, Aids, and HIV Prevention in Africa
The AIDS epidemic in Africa remains a serious health crisis. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Africa play a critical role in the delivery of HIV prevention services. An important barrier to their HIV prevention efforts is stigma directed at persons living with HIV/AIDS. In order to understand how stigma affects HIV prevention programming, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with NGO directors in 29 African countries. Qualitative a…
Effect of Verbal Self-Disclosure on Natural Killer Cell Activity
One objective of the present research was to examine the immunological effects of self-disclosing personal information regarding a traumatic or stressful experience. A second objective was to examine the hypothesis that the effect of self-disclosure on immune function is moderated by individual differences in cynical hostility. Forty-three male college undergraduates, classified as high or low on the Cook-Medley Hostility scale were randomly assi…
Patterns, correlates, and barriers to medication adherence among persons prescribed new treatments for HIV disease.
New treatments for HIV can improve immune functioning and decrease mortality. However, lapses in adherence may render these complex regimens ineffective. Sixty-three men and 9 women on highly active antiretroviral therapy completed measures of medication adherence, psychological characteristics, and barriers to adherence. HIV viral load, a health outcome measure of virus amount present in blood, was also obtained. The sample was 36% African Ameri…

Anticipated psychological impact of receiving medical feedback about HIV treatment outcomes
Two hundred and seven persons taking antiretroviral HIV medications rated anticipated affective responses to two vignettes depicting different medical feedback situations. Participants were randomly assigned to a medical feedback vignette which varied between participants by (a) the direction of HIV viral load change (increase, decrease, no change) and (b) whether or not a medication change was recommended by the physician. The first experimental…

Closing the digital divide in HIV/Aids care
Advances in information technology are revolutionizing medical patient education and the Internet is becoming a major source of information for people with chronic medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS. However, many AIDS patients do not have equal access to the Internet and are therefore at an information disadvantage, particularly minorities, persons of low-income levels and individuals with limited education. This paper describes the developm…
