Gay Community Connectedness, Internalized Homonegativity, and HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Attitudes and Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Georgia
Georgia has one of the highest HIV diagnosis rates in the U.S., yet only 33% of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) users in the Deep South live there. This study aims to determine the potential mediational role of internalized homonegativity and attitudes towards PrEP between gay community connectedness and PrEP use among men who have sex with men (MSM) living in Georgia. Participants (N = 121) completed an online survey in June 2020. PrEP use (yes/…

Creative and humorous activism, both online and offline, has historically been important for queer communities during public health crises like the AIDS epidemic. Online activism and affinity became critical during the COVID‐19 pandemic due to reduced in‐person healthcare, social support, and resources. General functions of online meme humor expanded during COVID‐19, including using dark humor and defining in‐group political values and positions.…

It’s another gay disease”
GBSMM have mpox experiences that are distinct and multifaceted. Effectively addressing mpox and mitigating public health emergencies for GBSMM requires prioritizing destigmatizing communication channels and vaccine distribution strategies by centering their stories and lived experiences to advance health equity
LGBTQ+ Sociopolitical Engagement
Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, COVID-19, and political elections have highlighted the power of a socially and politically engaged society. One under-researched cultural pillar at the core of sociopolitical resistance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people of color (POC) has been the House Ball Community, a dynamic subculture made up of intricate social networks. This study uses data collected fo…
Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Substance Use
To compare the demographics, sexual risk behaviors, and substance use characteristics of two probability samples of young men who have sex with men (YMSM): one recruited using a geosocial networking application (GSNA) and one recruited using venues. In 2017 and 2018, a cross-sectional online survey was utilized with a sample of 122 YMSM recruited in Los Angeles, CA. Recruitment procedures included both venue-based (n = 68) and GSNA-based probabil…
Discrimination and sleep disturbance
Discrimination plays a role in sleep disturbance for sexual minority men (SMM). Coping with discrimination through substance use may impact this relationship. Therefore, the current study aims to understand how substance use may mediate the relationship between microaggressions and sleep. In 2020, SMM were recruited for an online survey. Participants responded to items about sleep disturbance, sexual orientation microaggressions, and recent subst…

Discrimination plays a role in sleep disturbance for sexual minority men (SMM). Coping with discrimination through substance use may impact this relationship. Therefore, the current study aims to understand how substance use may mediate the relationship between microaggressions and sleep. In 2020, 239 SMM were recruited for an online survey. Participants responded to items about sleep disturbance, sexual orientation microaggressions, and recent s…
Venue-based versus Geosocial Networking Application-based Recruitment of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men
Because of the high cost, venue-based probability sampling of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) is largely inaccessible to social researchers. The aim of this study is to compare the feasibility of implementing geosocial networking application-based (GSNA) and venue-based prob`ability sampling of young men who have sex with men. A cross-sectional survey conducted in Los Angeles in 2017 and 2018 recruited 124 YMSM using both methods. We compa…
Religious Identity Dissonance
Sexual minority adolescents from religious contexts may be at high risk of mental health issues due to religious identity dissonance. This study investigated the cognitive strategies used to manage antihomosexual religious messages and resolve religious identity dissonance among sexual minority adolescents. In 2014, 46 adolescents were interviewed in Los Angeles, CA. Youths were prompted to discuss experiences with religion, antihomosexual messag…
A developmentally informed adaptation of minority stress for sexual minority adolescents
Sexual minority adolescents (lesbian, gay, bisexual) experience disparities in behavioral health outcomes compared to their heterosexual peers, generally attributed to minority stress. Although evidence of the applicability of the minority stress model among adolescents exists, it is based on a primarily adult literature. Developmental and generational differences demand further examination of minority stress to confirm its applicability. Forty‐e…
Bullying Victimization Trajectories for Sexual Minority Adolescents
Sexual minority adolescents are bullied more frequently than heterosexual peers. Research is lacking on their rates of general and sexual orientation bullying victimization. The present study identified (1) the rate, onset, and desistance of general and sexual orientation bullying victimization, (2) the rate of bullying victimization trajectories, and (3) risk and protective factors across trajectories. A life history calendar method and thematic…
The Social Context of Depression Symptomology in Sexual Minority Male Youth
The purpose of this study was to understand which social context factors most influence depression symptomology among sexual minority male youth (SMMY). In 2011, 195 SMMY who use Grindr were recruited to complete an online survey in Los Angeles, California. Items focused on social context variables and depression symptomology. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted using an ecological framework. The best fitting model accounted for 29.5…
Religious Conflict, Sexual Identity, and Suicidal Behaviors among LGBT Young Adults
This is the first known study to explore how religious identity conflict impacts suicidal behaviors among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young adults and to test internalized homophobia as a mediator. A secondary analysis of 2,949 youth was conducted using a national dataset collected by OutProud in 2000. Three indicators of identity conflict and an internalized-homophobia scale (mediator), were included in logistic regressions wi…
Network Influences on the Sexual Risk Behaviors of Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men Using Geosocial Networking Applications
Strategies employed by sexual minority adolescents to cope with minority stress
Sexual minority adolescents (SMA) experience disparities in health and behavioral health outcomes, including high rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, substance use, HIV risk behavior, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. These outcomes are commonly attributed to minority stress. Stress experiences are different for SMA than their adult counterparts. For example, disclosing their sexual orientation may be more likely to result in homeless…
