  • “Now My Body Asks Me for Peace and Tranquility ”: Perspectives on Aging Among Transgender Women in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

    Open Access•Clare Barrington, Gaby Sandor et al.•ARTICLE•Research on Aging•2026

    There is limited understanding of aging experiences among transgender (trans) women in Latin America and the Caribbean. The purpose of this community-engaged, formative study was to explore lived experiences and perceptions of aging among trans women in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. From August to October 2024, we conducted in-depth interviews with trans women (n = 19) 45 years and older and analyzed data using narrative and thematic techniq…

  • Developing and assessing acceptability of a shared decision-making tool for selecting among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis options in the United States of America

    Open Access•Wendy Davis, Andrea Mantsios et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2026

    We developed a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) shared decision-making tool to support people who could benefit from PrEP in reaching their prevention goals and preferences when considering two effective PrEP modalities, oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP, in partnership with their healthcare providers (HCPs). This 2-phase study included formative research to develop a PrEP shared decision-making tool prototype followed by a pilot study to …

  • The Role of Mobility in HIV Intervention Engagement and Community Mobilization among Female Sex Workers Living with HIV in the Dominican Republic

    Open Access•Maria De Jesus, Eric R Schuler et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2026

    Female sex workers (FSWs) are often a mobile population, but the role of mobility in influencing FSW social capital outcomes-defined here as engagement with HIV intervention activities and community mobilization-remains unclear. To date, the evidence is mixed, with mobility both facilitating and hindering community engagement, depending on the context. This study is the first to employ a mixed-methods approach to examine how mobility impacts thes…

  • Exploring relationship pathways to prevent intimate partner violence among young women in Malawi

    Open Access•Audrey Pereira, Joseph J Chunga et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2026

    International estimates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescents and young women are high, indicating the need to address IPV prevention early in life. Structural economic interventions, such as household cash transfer programmes, have the potential to improve the wellbeing of youth who are not the direct recipients of the transfers themselves. However, few studies have addressed this topic in terms of youth romantic and/or sexual rel…

  • Navigating double burden: Community health workers in rural Dominican Republic living and working through the epidemiologic transition

    Open Access•Eliana G Armora Langoni, Deshira D Wallace et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2025

    The epidemiological transition postulates that over time, the burden of infectious disease declines and is replaced with non-communicable diseases (NCD). Community health workers (CHW) work on prevention and treatment of infectious and NCD in low-resource settings in the context of health transitions. We explored CHWs’ experiences working through the epidemiologic transition in rural Dominican Republic and how the transition impacted their roles …

  • A scoping review examining measurement of anti-transgender stigma in low- and middle-income countries

    Open Access•Tamar Goldenberg, Amanda E Tanner et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2025

    Globally, transgender and other gender diverse (trans) people experience widespread prejudice, discrimination, violence, and other forms of stigma, which contribute to negative health outcomes. Most anti-trans stigma research has been conducted in high-income countries. Measurement of anti-trans stigma in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is important for understanding and improving the health of trans populations globally. Accordingly, th…

  • Longitudinal analysis of the role of mindfulness on HIV stigma, depression, substance use and HIV outcomes among female sex workers living with HIV in the Dominican Republic

    Yan Wang, Carla J Berg et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2025

    Female sex workers (FSW) living with HIV experience greater depression and worse HIV outcomes than people living with HIV (PLHIV) overall. Mindfulness is related to lower depression and higher ART adherence in PLHIV. Few studies have assessed these relationships among FSW, especially longitudinally. This study assessed the temporal relationship between mindfulness, mental health and HIV outcomes among FSW from the Dominican Republic (DR). We anal…

  • Corona’ was bigger than Aids: Exploring how female sex workers with HIV navigated HIV care and treatment during the onset of Covid-19 in the Dominican Republic and Tanzania

    Clare Barrington, Victoria Savage et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2025•References: 40

    Initial efforts to control COVID-19 included restricting human movement, which caused heightened economic insecurity and challenges to the management of chronic health conditions such as HIV. The aims of this study were to: (1) explore how female sex workers living with HIV in the Dominican Republic and Tanzania, two different cultural and epidemic contexts, reacted to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (2) assess how lockdown measures impac…

  • “You know that we travel a lot”: Mobility narratives among female sex workers living with HIV in Tanzania and the Dominican Republic

    Open Access•Zoé Mistrale Hendrickson, Maria De Jesus et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2024

    Female sex workers (FSW) are highly mobile, which may result in reduced access to and use of health services and increased risk for poor health outcomes, particularly for those living with HIV. Mobility includes spatial, temporal, and social elements that are not fully captured by quantitative measures. We conducted two rounds of in-depth interviews with FSW living with HIV in Iringa, Tanzania (n = 20), and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (n = …

    Open Access•Dirk A Davis, Kathryn E Muessig et al.•ARTICLE•Health Promotion International•2023

    Mental health problems, including anxiety and depression, are a common comorbidity among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) living with HIV. Informed by social support theory, health navigation is a strengths-based intervention that has been demonstrated to improve HIV care outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore how health navigation influences the mental health of GBMSM living with HIV. We analyzed longitudinal…

  • Private sector antimalarial sales a decade after “test and treat”: A cross-sectional study of drug shop clients in rural Uganda

    Open Access•Victoria Shelus, Nobert Mumbere et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2023

    Background: The World Health Organization has promoted "test and treat" guidelines for malaria since 2010, recommending all suspected malaria cases be confirmed with a parasitological test, typically a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), prior to treatment with antimalarial medications. However, many fevers at private drug shops in Uganda continue to be treated presumptively as malaria without diagnostic testing. Methods: = 46) recorded information abou…

  • HIV Treatment and Mental Health Outcomes Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men Living With HIV in a Pilot Multicomponent Intervention in Guatemala City

    Open Access•Clare Barrington, Dirk A Davis et al.•ARTICLE•Health Education & Behavior•2023

    Globally, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, but few interventions address mental health and HIV outcomes among GBMSM living with HIV. The purpose of this study was to pilot a multicomponent intervention, integrating emotional well-being (EW) and health navigation for GBMSM living with HIV in Guatemala City. We implemented a 12-month intervention, including a four-session EW componen…

  • ‘Joy, not sorrow’: Men's perspectives on gender, violence, and cash transfers targeted to women in northern Ghana

    Open Access•Audrey Pereira, Akalpa J Akaligaung et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2023

    Evidence indicates that cash transfers can decrease intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, although most research has focused on women's perspectives and experiences, with less attention to men. We analyzed data from four focus group discussions with male partners of women who participated in the Ghana Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) 1000 cash transfer program. We elicited men's perceptions of poverty, relationship dynamics,…

  • “We flew under the radar: ” Examining the influence of stigma on community engagement strategies among harm reduction practitioners in Central Appalachia

    Open Access•Charles G Hoffman, Kathryn E Moracco et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2023

    The rise in opioid overdoses has disproportionately affected the Central Appalachian region of the United States. Stigma towards people who use drugs (PWUD) has limited access to life-saving harm reduction services in the region. Previous research has emphasized the need to engage communities to reduce stigma, yet these efforts can lead to backlash. The purpose of this study was to explore how stigma affects harm reduction practitioners’ approach…

  • Rural and nonrural racial variation in mentally unhealthy days: Findings from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system in North Carolina, 2015–2019

    Open Access•Caroline R Efird, Derrick D Matthews et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2023

    Rural-nonrural health disparities are well documented, yet researchers rarely consider how mental health is experienced across racial groups in rural areas. Black Americans frequently demonstrate better mental health than White Americans, which is puzzling, given their exposure to interpersonal and structural racism and discrimination. To determine if this paradoxical mental health patterning occurs within the context of rurality, we used zero-in…

  • Exploring the dynamics of the quality of HIV care experienced by female sex workers living in the Dominican Republic

    Open Access•Tahilin Sanchez Karver, Clare Barrington et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    Despite increased attention and efforts to improve HIV care among female sex workers (FSWs), they continue to have suboptimal HIV outcomes. Exploring the socio-structural dynamics related to the quality of HIV care received by FSWs is critical to further strengthen interventions to improve their HIV care continuum outcomes. In this study, we conducted two rounds of qualitative in-depth interviews with 20 FSWs living with HIV in the Dominican Repu…

  • Beyond a deficit-based approach: Characterizing typologies of assets for cisgender and transgender female sex workers and their relationship with syndemic health outcomes

    Open Access•Beth J Maclin, Yan Wang et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    Female sex workers (FSWs) live and work at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities that place them at greater risk for various negative health outcomes. Resilience theory asserts that an individual or community needs assets from which they can draw in response to stressors, such as chronic discrimination and abuse. This study characterizes and compares patterns of assets among cisgender and transgender FSWs living with HIV in the Dom…

  • Assessing associations between stigma and mental health among preexposure prophylaxis users in Guatemala

    Open Access•Sophia M Bartel, César Galíndo et al.•ARTICLE•Stigma and Health•2023

    Open Access•Andrea Mantsios, Ohvia Muraleetharan et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2022

    Despite documented interest among female sex workers (FSW), uptake of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been low. Recent trials and regulatory approval of long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP offer new hope for the potential of this biomedical intervention. We examined FSW’s PrEP-related interest and preferences regarding both oral and LAI PrEP situating these dynamics within their specific social and occupational realities…

    Open Access•Victoria Shelus, Nobert Mumbere et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2022

    The World Health Organization recommends all suspected malaria cases be confirmed with a parasitological test, typically a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), prior to treatment. Despite recommendations, many fevers presenting at private drug shops are treated presumptively as malaria without diagnostic testing. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe community perceptions of RDTs and explore ways to improve malaria case management at drug…

    Open Access•Kathleen S Kenny, Andrea Krüsi et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2021•Cited by: 7•References: 12

    The child protection system can be a highly consequential institution for mothers who are sex workers, yet scant attention has been paid to the health consequences of its policies on this population. Drawing on 31 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 19 Indigenous and 12 non-Indigenous sex workers in Vancouver, Canada, and using the stress process model and the concept of slow violence, this study proposes a typology of four trajectories thr…

    Clare Barrington, Dirk A Davis et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicity and Health•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 6

    Examining the interplay between identities and structures provides a contextualized understanding of outcomes along the HIV care continuum among gay Latino men that goes beyond behavioral and cultural explanations. There is a need to assess long-term experiences of navigating HIV care and treatment given the intersecting structures of mobility, housing instability, and immigration policy

    Ethnographic studies from numerous societies have documented the central role of male circumcision in conferring masculinity and preparing boys for adult male sexuality. Despite this link between masculinity, sexuality, and circumcision, there has been little research on these dynamics among men who have been circumcised for HIV prevention. We employed a mixed methods approach with data collected from recently circumcised men in the Dominican Rep…

  • Saliendo Adelante: Stressors and Coping Strategies Among Immigrant Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men in a Nontraditional Settlement State

    Open Access•Paul A Gilbert, Clare Barrington et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Men s Health•2016•Cited by: 4•References: 12

    Immigrant Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) are marginalized along multiple dimensions (e.g., ethnicity, sexual orientation, language use), which can negatively affect their health and well-being. As little is known about how this subgroup experiences the stress of marginalization and how, in turn, they cope with such stress, this study investigated stressors and coping strategies to better understand the factors shaping Latino MSM health.

    District court judges who make final determinations in domestic violence protective order (DVPO) cases in North Carolina indicate often using heuristics, such as the presence of visible injury, to guide their assessment of violence severity. This approach is concerning as it minimizes nonphysical intimate partner violence. We conducted a thematic analysis of DVPO plaintiff complaints to identify the types of nonphysical vioence described and its …

  • Debe cuidarse en la calle: Normative influences on condom use among the steady male partners of female sex workers in the Dominican Republic

    Clare Barrington, Deanna Kerrigan•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2014

    Encouragement to use condoms reflects the injunctive norm, or idea that you should use condoms. In our previous research with the regular male partners of female sex workers, in the Dominican Republic, we found that encouragement to use condoms with female sex workers from individuals in their personal social networks was not directly associated with condom use. In the current study, we used qualitative interviews to further explore the influence…
