Factors that facilitate and hinder historically Black colleges and universities faculty research success
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have made a substantial impact on their students, surrounding communities, and on the local, regional, and national economies. Despite their long-standing commitment to educating and training Black students, HBCUs face continual financial challenges that often impede their ability to execute the mission and vision of the institution. HBCU faculty are tasked with training and developing the next…
The Association of Substance Use Before Sex and Condomless Sex
Youth are disproportionately affected by substance use and associated sexual risk behaviors, increasing STI and HIV susceptibility. This study analyzed the interplay between alcohol/drug use before sex (ABS/DBS), perceived sex approval (e.g., perceived familial or peer approval in engaging in sex), and HIV/STI risk perception among youth aged 13-21 ( n = 150). We assessed how these factors influenced condomless vaginal/anal sex (VAS) and oral sex…
Gendered powerlessness in at-risk adolescent and young women
In the United States, youth aged 13–24 comprised approximately 21% of new HIV infections in 2017; 13% of these infections occurred among women, the majority of whom (86%) acquired HIV through heterosexual contact (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2019a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Does Venue Type Matter for HIV-Related Risk Behavior in Urban Adolescent and Young Adult Men Who Have Sex With Men
Venue-based strategies offer effective means of targeting men who have sex with men. Few studies have sought to focus on where younger men congregate and understand risk behaviors that may occur at lower (i.e., community centers) versus higher risk venues. Data from 1,311 young men who have sex with men (YMSM) aged 12- to 24-years-old recruited from publicly accessible venues was used to examine the association between venue type (bar/club, commu…
Sexual Partner Characteristics, Relationship Type, and HIV Risk Among a Community Venue-Based Sample of Urban Adolescent and Young Adult Men Who Have Sex With Men
Few studies have examined sexual partnerships and HIV risk in diverse samples of African American/Black and Hispanic/Latino adolescent and young adult men who have sex with men (YMSM), a group that have a high burden of HIV in the United States. A community-venue recruitment approach was used, which identified significant differences in HIV risk by sexual partner type among 1,215 YMSM. Those with casual partners had a higher number of sexual part…
Structural Effects on HIV Risk Among Youth
Youth health outcomes from the Connect-to-Protect coalitions to prevent adolescent HIV infections
We assessed the relationships among HIV-related social and behavioral outcomes resulting from an adolescent-focused HIV structural change initiative in eight urban sites operating Connect to Protect (C2P) coalitions. Over a 4-year period, annual cross-sectional panels of adolescents (N = 2,248) completed an audio-computer-assisted interview, providing data on satisfaction with their communities as adolescent-supportive environments, internalized …
Structural and Community Change Outcomes of the Connect‐to‐Protect Coalitions
Highlights Coalition mobilization can contribute to the creation of AIDS‐competent communities. HIV coalitions benefit from leaders who can confront political opposition to structural changes. Coalitions can contribute to addressing the structural factors that promote HIV‐risk among youth

The Benefits of a Friendship-Based HIV/STI Prevention Intervention for African American Youth
This article presents findings from a qualitative evaluation of an HIV/STI (sexually transmitted infection) prevention intervention for urban African American youth (Project ÒRÉ), which was delivered to groups of 3 to 8 adolescents who were members of the same friendship network. Sixteen focus groups ( N = 63) were conducted with youth following their participation in the intervention. Results demonstrate high acceptability of the intervention. B…
Contraceptive decision-making in sexual relationships
Much attention has been focused on efforts to reduce unintended pregnancy by improving contraceptive use among high-risk women; however, there is limited information to guide interventions to engage young men in contraceptive decision-making. We conducted focus groups of young men, aged 19-26, from diverse racial backgrounds from low-income communities in the San Francisco Bay Area to examine social norms about sexual relationships and how they i…

The STD and HIV Epidemics in African American Youth
Sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), disproportionately affect African American adolescents and young adults. Many of our current strategies and approaches have been inadequate in the promotion of risk reduction among youth and need to be reconceptualized. This article identifies issues that may guide researchers to better address the risks faced by African American youth. Some of these issues include tai…
Predictors of Risk for Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Ninth Grade Urban High School Students
This study examined risk factors associated with acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV in adolescents, using the AIDS Risk Reduction Model. The study participants were 985 students who were 54% female, ethnically/racially diverse, had a mean age of 14.7 years, and were mostly 9th graders (74%). Logistic regression was used to predict sexual experience. Linear regression was used to predict risky sexual behaviors and co…
Individuals' perceptions about their sex partners' risk behaviors
Individuals' perceptions about their sex partners' sexually transmitted disease (STD)‐ and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐related risk behaviors may affect their sexual behavior. The objective of this study was to determine the agreement between individuals' perceptions about their main sex partners' risk behaviors and their main sex partners' self‐reported risk behaviors. One hundred individuals and their current main heterosexual partner we…

Minorities and Aids
White adolescents in San Francisco high schools were more knowledgeable than Black adolescents about the cause, transmission, and prevention of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and Black adolescents were more knowledgeable than their Latino peers. Black and Latino adolescents were approximately twice as likely as White adolescents to have misconceptions about the casual transmission of AIDS. Less knowledge about AIDS and prevalent misco…
