Educational Differences in Sexual Health among Adolescents in Europe
In European countries with stratified educational trajectories, in which adolescents are separated into vocational and academic tracks, studies have shown that there are educational differences in adolescent sexual health. However, due to heterogeneity of the existing literature in terms of national educational systems and dimensions of sexual health being studied, uncertainty remains about the strength of the association between educational trac…
Exploring the Interest and Intention to Use Long-Acting Injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men (GBMSM) in the Netherlands
Long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) provides opportunities to expand HIV prevention coverage in the Netherlands. Understanding which Dutch gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are interested in using LAI-PrEP when available can support HIV prevention efforts. Survey data was collected online via the PROTECT survey from 1,447 GBMSM in the Netherlands between October 2023 and March 2024. Multivariable logistic analysis was c…
European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men and Trans People Internet Survey (Emis-2024)
Men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), as well as transgender and non-binary individuals, continue to face a disproportionate burden of stigma, mental health challenges, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections. To address their needs, public health planners require reliable and comparable data. Monitoring behaviours in these populations also supports the evaluation of health policies. The European-MSM-Internet-Survey (EMIS-2024) builds on our in…
Prevalence and associated factors of selling sex among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Latin America
INTRODUCTION: Selling sex has been associated with negative social and health outcomes, but most studies have been limited geographically and have not distinguished between selling and buying sex. This study assesses prevalence and factors associated with selling sex in the last 12 months among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 18 Latin American countries. METHODS: Data were collected in 2018 through the Latin American MSM Internet Survey, a cro…
Informed decision making in the context of HIV prevention
OBJECTIVE: Individuals seeking HIV protection can choose from various strategies (e.g. condoms, PrEP). Thus, individuals may engage in informed decision making, balancing risks and benefits with their values. This study examines how different levels of informed decision making affect the relationship between individuals' momentary prioritization of HIV safety and the perceived safety of their choices. Additionally, it investigates the relationshi…
HIV testing among sub-Saharan African migrants in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, sub-Saharan African migrants (SSAM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, and late HIV diagnoses remain a significant challenge. Using a socioecological framework, we explored barriers and facilitators to HIV testing from the perspectives of a diverse group of 32 SSAM and 13 key informants (KI) through semi-structured interviews. Interview data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Identified barriers to HIV testi…
Access to HIV prevention, testing and care among people with a migration background in Euregio Meuse-Rhine
This study addresses disparities among people with a migration background (PMB) and those in less-urban regions, across the HIV prevention and care continuum (HIVPCC). We conducted a needs assessment and assets assessment to identify gaps between existing initiatives and persisting barriers. The research was conducted in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (EMR), encompassing bordering regions in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and involved in-depth i…
The role of fear as a barrier and facilitator to antiretroviral therapy initiation in Indonesia
Initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Indonesia poses major challenges, with limited studies on specific ART initiation barriers and facilitators. Using a socioecological approach, we explored, through semi-structured interviews, the perspectives of 67 participants: 17 people with HIV not (yet) on ART, 30 people with HIV on treatment, and 20 HIV service providers (HSPs). Fears emerged as pervasive barriers to initiation encompassing, at the …
A Syndemic Clustering of Adversities on Suicide Risk among YMSM Living with HIV in Bangkok
This study investigated the clustering of psychosocial adversities and their synergistic effect with depression on suicidality in a 12-month prospective cohort (N = 214) of YMSM living with HIV in Bangkok, Thailand. Latent class analysis identified subgroups with distinct combinations of adversities, including bullying, intimate partner violence, substance use, HIV stigma, low social support, histories of sex work, and below-income status. Signif…
Determinants of Return to Active Use Amongst Previously Rehabilitated Users of Nyaope With a History of Multiple Rehabilitations
Returning to active use of nyaope is one of the most problematic issues amongst previously rehabilitated persons who use this substance in South Africa. To understand this aspect in-depth, the study sought to explore the determinants of return to active use from those who have been rehabilitated multiple times. An exploratory qualitative design was utilised for this study. A semi-structured interview guide was developed, and face-to-face intervie…
Engagement of HIV-negative MSM and partners of people with HIV in HIV cure (research)
As the prospect of an HIV cure is gaining prominence, engaging key populations affected by an HIV cure becomes essential. This study examined the engagement of HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) and/or partners of people with HIV (PHIV) in the Netherlands. Interviews were conducted with 19 MSM not in relationships with a partner with HIV and 16 partners of PHIV and were thematically analyzed. Perspectives on the importance of an HIV cur…
Intention and preference to use long-acting injectable PrEP among MSM in the Netherlands
Long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) is efficacious in preventing HIV among men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) and will be soon available in Europe. This study investigated the intention and preference to use LAI-PrEP among MSM in the Netherlands by employing a diffusion of innovation approach. This study had a cross-sectional design nested within a cohort study established in 2017 to understand oral PrEP use among MSM. 309 MSM…
Socio-economic inequities in mental health problems and wellbeing among women working in the apparel and floriculture sectors
The RCM can be applied in low-income countries, although in unexpected ways. Similar to findings from high-income countries, PsyCap and size of the financial social support network show significant mediation effects in explaining mental health problems and wellbeing inequities in Ethiopia. These reserves could therefore serve as a buffer for socio-economic inequities in mental health and wellbeing and can therefore assist in decreasing these ineq…
Determinants of HIV Testing Among Migrant Men Who Have Sex With Men from Sub-Saharan Africa and Other Regions Residing in 10 European Countries
Migrant men who have sex with men (mMSM) from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and other regions outside Europe are highly vulnerable to HIV. However, research on the determinants of HIV testing among mMSM from SSA, and how these differ across the categories of mMSM living in Europe, is limited. Using data from the European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS-2017), we assessed HIV testing prevalence and recency in mMSM from SSA and other mMSM residing in ten Euro…
Patterns of Chemsex Substance Use and Its Association with HIV Transmission Risk Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Thailand
Sexualized substance use or “chemsex” may contribute to the HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Thailand. Specific patterns of chemsex use may be associated with different HIV/STI transmission risks. We examined typologies and correlates of sexualized substance use among a sample of high-risk MSM ( n = 532) who had attended a private sex party or circuit party in the past three years using latent class analysis. Multinomial regr…
Sexually transmitted infection prevention behaviours
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health threat, disproportionately affecting young people, and men who have sex with men. In this narrative review of the current state of behavioural science research on STI prevention, we consider the definition, health impacts, correlates and determinants, and interventions to promote STI prevention behaviour. Research on STI prevention behaviour has extended from a focus on abstinenc…
Association of internalised homonegativity with partner notification after diagnosis of syphilis or gonorrhoea among men having sex with men in 49 countries across four continents
We could demonstrate that IH was associated with PN among MSM across all countries included in our analysis. Reducing cultural homophobia and ensuring inclusive policies may contribute to STI prevention and control
The Bitter and the Sweet
Observers of Ethiopia’s entry into export-oriented global value chains generally agree that social upgrading is crucial if these chains’ largely female workforce is to reap the benefits of participation. They disagree, however, on the extent to which a ‘business case’ can be made to involve in this upgrading the managers who link frontline workers to international buyers. This article takes a novel approach to these questions by directly asking t…
Agency and Upgrading in Ethiopia's Global Production Networks
Ethiopia's quest for export-led industrialization through manufacturing is seen by many development economists as a test case for the larger potential of developmental states in Africa to benefit from global value chains. In recent years this quest has run into difficulties, prompting other scholars to question the social and economic advantages of this strategy. This article takes a novel approach to this question by examining the rise and fall …
Does Investor Origin Matter? The Multidimensional Well-Being and Mental Health of Female Workers in Foreign-Owned Flower Farms and Apparel Factories in Ethiopia
Investors from various origins in FDI employ a large number of female workers in Ethiopia, but one of the areas where there is lack of research is the well-being consequences of such jobs and whether these are uniform across investors from various origins. To address this gap, this study examined how investor origin is associated with the multidimensional well-being and mental health of female workers using survey data on 2,515 workers employed i…
Bridging the serodivide
The introduction of biomedical HIV prevention methods, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), holds the potential to overcome the serodivide. We investigated the attitudes of PrEP users towards having sex with partners living with HIV. PrEP users in the Netherlands were recruited online and completed three questionnaires over a period of six months. We investigated changes over time in feelings of fear of HIV, comfort, and attitudes towards con…
Determinants of PrEP Uptake, Intention and Awareness in the Netherlands
PrEP uptake in the Netherlands is growing but remains at suboptimal levels. Hence, the analysis of hurdles is paramount. Given the initial focus of PrEP provision among men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) via a demonstration project that was launched in June 2015, AmPrEP in Amsterdam, and pharmacies in the main urban areas (so called "Randstad", entailing Amsterdam, Utrecht, Leiden, The Hague and Rotterdam), investigating regional differences is nece…
PrEP Use in Times of Covid-19 in the Netherlands
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, HIV care and prevention efforts have been disrupted. We investigated pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use and testing behaviors among MSM in the Netherlands, and the factors that influenced testing behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cohort of 766 MSM, established in 2017, was asked in August 2020 to report on their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic via an online survey. Participants (n = 319) rep…
PrEP in the Context of Other HIV Risk Reduction Strategies Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Structural stigma and sexual minority men’s depression and suicidality
Sexual minority men are at greater risk of depression and suicidality than heterosexuals. Stigma, the most frequently hypothesized risk factor for this disparity, operates across socioecological levels-structural (e.g., laws), interpersonal (e.g., discrimination), and individual (e.g., self-stigma). Although the literature on stigma and mental health has focused on interpersonal and individual forms of stigma, emerging research has shown that str…
Why some groups just feel better
The current research applied the regulatory fit hypothesis (E. T. Higgins, 2000) to the evaluation of groups, suggesting that individuals' group appraisal depends on how well the groups fit their regulatory needs. Specifically, it was predicted that higher power groups would fit and be more valued by those individuals with a promotion focus because these groups provide a better opportunity to sustain nurturance and achievement needs. Alternativel…
Male Role Endorsement Explains Negative Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Among Students in Mexico More Than in Germany
Anti-gay attitudes vary across cultures because the larger social context plays a role in attitude formation. Psychological correlates of these attitudes have been investigated in the United States and Europe. Endorsement of traditional gender roles has emerged from that research as a central correlate, next to religiosity and personal contact with lesbians/gay men. In a cross-sectional study, we tested whether these correlates are relevant in Me…
Religious Affiliation and Attitudes Towards Gay Men
Previous research suggests that people from some religious backgrounds hold more negative attitudes towards gay men than others do. The current research focuses on psychological variables as an alternative explanation to religious affiliation, testing whether masculinity beliefs regarding gay men and their perceived threat to one's masculinity can explain such between‐group differences in negative attitudes. With a sample of 155 male heterosexual…
Knowing how to react
Four studies tested whether social category primes did not only prime descriptions, behaviors of this respective group, and general behavioral tendencies but also specific behavioral responses toward this group. The activation (Studies 1-3) and the accomplishment of such response behavior (Study 4) were found. Study 2 showed that the activation of response behavior was based on dynamic and, thus, directional representations: Social category prime…
When Gender Fits Self-Regulatory Preferences
Females are perceived to have less power than males. These differences in perceived power might render different self-regulatory strategies appropriate: Women should (as members of other low-power groups) care about security, whereas men should (as members of other high-power groups) strive for accomplishment. These regulatory implications of gender provide the basis for regulatory fit between individuals' gender and their regulatory focus. Highe…

PrEP Interest Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Netherlands
Despite increased availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), PrEP uptake has remained low. To promote uptake, factors related to PrEP interest among relevant target populations warrant investigation. The aim of this study was to provide an analysis of PrEP interest among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Netherlands, while taking study recruitment strategies into account. We recruited 154 MSM from an LGBT research panel (AmsterdamPinkP…
Associations Between Dutch LGBT Hate Crime Experience, Well-Being, Trust in the Police and Future Hate Crime Reporting
LGBT-related hate crime is a conscious act of aggression against an LGBT citizen. The present research investigates associations between hate crime, psychological well-being, trust in the police and intentions to report future experiences of hate crime. A survey study was conducted among 391 LGBT respondents in the Netherlands. Sixteen percent experienced hate crime in the 12 months prior. Compared to non-victims, victims had significant lower ps…

Who pushes you to be bigger?”
Western studies suggest that perceived pressure from family members, peers, and the media to achieve muscularity ideals are associated with higher muscle dissatisfaction and that such associations are mediated through different psychological processes. However, how such findings apply to young Chinese men has not been explored. Using an online survey, this study examined if perceived pressure from family, peers, and the media to achieve musculari…
Self-Regulatory Processes in the Appraisal of Moral Courage Situations
The present research conceives of morally courageous behavior as goal-directed behavior and extends its investigation from a mere situational approach to a more comprehensive understanding including dispositional determinants related to self-regulatory processes. We tested the assumption that individual difference variables differentially affect the appraisal of the two core constituents of moral courage, namely, norm violation and risk of interv…
Thinking deadline
In everyday life, people are constantly faced with deadlines. The current research investigated whether a self‐regulatory orientation in terms of promotion and prevention focus impacts on what individuals center on when considering deadlines. Specifically, we assumed promotion focus to enhance thinking about deadline descriptions and prevention focus to enhance thinking about deadline‐related behavior, both in terms of their self‐regulatory conce…
Attitude change and social influence on the net
This article summarizes how social influence can be exerted in computer-mediated communication (CMC). It outlines research on short-term effects of CMC on attitudes and behaviour, rather than on long-term effects of social influence. The article first presents a model of three types of social influence that can be discerned in groups, representing the current state of research on social influence. Subsequently, the characteristics of CMC relevant…

Regret and Counterfactual Thinking in the Face of Inevitability
Regret and counterfactual thoughts have been extensively studied in laboratory settings characterized by unlimited future options. Yet, evidence of counterfactual thought and its effects in real-life situations is scarce. The present study demonstrates the influence of regret and counterfactuals on HIV-seropositive individuals ( N = 182). Results show that HIV-specific regrets as well as counterfactuals exert negative influence on well-being. How…

We are sorry, they don’t care
Embarrassment displays show others that one is aware of one's own misbehavior and willing to make up for it. The facial actions of embarrassment, however, are partly similar to those of disinterest, which has an opposite function, signaling that one is not concerned about one's self in relation to others. In the context of negative intergroup relations, embarrassment displays of outgroup members may therefore be misinterpreted as disinterest. In …

Pre-exposure prophylaxis sorting among men who have sex with men
Factors such as race, masculinity, and sexually transmitted infections have been documented to influence partner selection in men who have sex with men (MSM). Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has received mixed evaluations as a responsible step in HIV prevention and as an enabler of risker sexual practices. PrEP may consequently serve as an additional factor in partner choice. We examine the role that PrEP use and "promiscuity" play in affiliation…
