  • Understanding the Factors That May Influence African American MSM’s Acceptance of a Theoretical HIV Vaccine

    Open Access•Mia Ann Xu, Jasmin Choi et al.•ARTICLE•Behavioral Medicine•2026

    An HIV vaccine is crucial for African American men who have sex with men (MSM) as they are disproportionately impacted by HIV in the United States. Successful vaccine uptake at levels sufficient to protect individuals and reduce transmission requires more than developing an effective HIV vaccine-it necessitates a strong intention to get vaccinated. Understanding the perceptions, attitudes, and concerns surrounding HIV vaccination among African Am…

  • Information Seeking and MSM’s Beliefs about PrEP and Condoms

    Joseph Schwartz, Josh Grimm et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2022

    This study examined how frequently men who have sex with men (MSM) used a selection of sources, including news media, social media, health organizations, and dating/hookup apps, for HIV information. Additionally, the study explored the extent to which MSM’s efficacy beliefs about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and perceptions of condom importance could be predicted by the sources they used. A sample of MSM (N= 969) were surveyed online. Results …

  • Exploring perceptions of healthcare providers’ communication skill and PrEP use in men who have sex with men

    Joseph Schwartz, Josh Grimm et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Research Reports•2021

    HIV continues to be serious issue in the U.S., especially for men who have sex with men (MSM). Pre–exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective means of preventing HIV, but its adoption has been slower than expected. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which MSM’s perceptions of their healthcare providers’ level of communication skill predicted PrEP status. An online survey of 969 MSM was conducted. The results showed …

  • U.S. transgender women’s preferences for microeconomic interventions to address structural determinants of HIV vulnerability

    Open Access•Tonia Poteat, Larissa Jennings Mayo-Wilson et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2021

    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

  • Longitudinal relations of classroom goal structures to students’ motivation and learning outcomes in health education

    Open Access•Sungjun Won, Eric M Anderman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Educational Psychology•2020

    Little attention has been paid to goal structures in health education, despite their well-established roles in motivation and learning. The primary goal of this study was to examine the longitudinal relations of classroom goal structures to high school students’ (N = 636) motivation and learning outcomes in health education. We incorporated two aspects of motivation: self-efficacy for negotiating condom use and task values for learning new inform…

  • Combined effects of gender affirmation and economic hardship on vulnerability to HIV

    Open Access•Larissa Jennings Mayo-Wilson, Eric G Benotsch et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2020

    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

  • Appealing to fear

    Melanie B Tannenbaum, Justin Hepler et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Bulletin•2015•Citada por: 102•Referencias: 7

    Fear appeals are a polarizing issue, with proponents confident in their efficacy and opponents confident that they backfire. We present the results of a comprehensive meta-analysis investigating fear appeals' effectiveness for influencing attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. We tested predictions from a large number of theories, the majority of which have never been tested meta-analytically until now. Studies were included if they contained a tr…

  • Health Behavior Change Models for HIV Prevention and Aids Care

    Open Access•Michelle R Kaufman, F Cornish et al.•ARTICLE•JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune…•2014

    Despite increasing recent emphasis on the social and structural determinants of HIV-related behavior, empirical research and interventions lag behind, partly because of the complexity of social-structural approaches. This article provides a comprehensive and practical review of the diverse literature on multi-level approaches to HIV-related behavior change in the interest of contributing to the ongoing shift to more holistic theory, research, and…

  • Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity

    Richard Charnigo, Seth M Noar et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2012•Citada por: 23

    Although prior studies have shown that sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making are related to sexual risk-taking, it is still unclear whether these personality traits operate independently or synergistically. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the joint contribution of these personality traits to HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk behaviors using data from a large sample of sexually active young adults (N = 2,386). Re…

  • Sexual revolution in China

    Zhiwen Xiao, Purnima Mehrotra et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2011

    China is undergoing rapid changes in sexual mores due to several reasons such as decreasing control of the state over private lives of individuals, globalization of its economy, and some policies initiated by the state. There is increased acceptance of premarital sex and extramarital sex in China, especially among youth. In historically conservative China, influenced by Confucian ideals of patriarchal dominance for centuries, the sexual freedom c…

  • A Test of an Adapted Multiple Domain Model in Predicting Sexual Behaviors Among Unmarried Young Adults in India

    Purnima Mehrotra, Rick S Zimmerman et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2011•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 5

    Theory-based, scientific research examining sexual behaviors of young adults is sparse in India, even though pre-marital sex among unmarried young people has been rising in recent years. At the same time, young people aged 15 to 24 are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. This has been attributed in part to rising pre-marital sexual behaviors, coupled with a lack of sex education. The objective of this study was to advance an understanding of…

    This study adapts a multiple domain model (MDM) to explain condom use among a sample of sexually active Chinese college students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted and structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model. Preparatory behaviors, theory of reasoned action (TRA)/theory of planned behavior variables, impulsivity, length of relationship, and alcohol use were significant direct predictors of condom use. The results sug…

    Adolescents in South Africa are at particularly high risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as other sexually transmitted infections. Because rates are so high, using minimal time and resources to develop effective interventions is essential. One strategy to achieve this goal is to modify and adapt western school-based preventive interventions for application in South African schools. This study focuses on the adaptation and integra…

    Adolescents remain the most critical group to target for reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, as most infections occur during this period. However, given that the rates of HIV infection continue to rise, South African youth would appear to be unable to protect themselves as well as they should. Gender role attitudes have been implicated in adolescent boys having multiple partners and inconsistent condom use. We examined gender r…

No significant mean score differences were found for Hispanic or non‐Hispanic white students according to the race/ethnicity of the teachers doing the ratings. However, Afric…

This issue is examined in the current article. First, we discuss the problems within the HBT literature. Second, we discuss the proliferation of HBT and why theory comparison is essential to this area of research. Finally, we reflect on ways that the field…

The proposed model integrates social psychological theory, demographic and personality factors, social environment, and situational/contextual variables. Adolescents who were sexually active at time 2 (6 months after baseline) and time 3 (1 year after time 2) and completed sur…

    Adolescents in South Africa are at particularly high risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as other sexually transmitted infections. Because rates are so high, using minimal time and resources to develop effective interventions is essential. One strategy to achieve this goal is to modify and adapt western school-based preventive interventions for application in South African schools. This study focuses on the adaptation and integra…
