Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Social Support Networks of Gay and Bisexual Men with HIV in New York City
Medication Adherence and Substance Use Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men (GBMSM) Living with HIV in New York City During covid-19 Restrictions
COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders were critical in preventing the spread of SARS CoV-2 virus but may have disrupted care for people living with HIV, including access to antiretroviral treatment (ART). Understanding how COVID-19 restrictions affected ART adherence is a public health concern. Neighborhoods, Networks and HIV (NNHIV) is an ongoing longitudinal cohort study evaluating the impact of neighborhoods and networks on HIV care engagement amon…
Patterns and Factors Associated With Alcohol Misuse Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in New York City
Alcohol misuse is a significant health concern among gay, bisexual, same-gender-loving, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Yet, little is known about the severity and predictors of alcohol misuse among self-reported young Black MSM. This study aimed to identify patterns of and factors associated with alcohol misuse in a sample of young Black MSM living in New York City. Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving t…
Correlates of concordance between self-reported and lab-confirmed viral load among Black and Latine men who have sex with men (BLMSM) living with HIV in New York City
Sustained viral suppression is one of the four strategies in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) plan to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Individuals living with HIV must understand their viral load accurately for this strategy to be effective. We conducted cross-sectional analyses using baseline data from the NNHIV longitudinal study among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV in New York City to identify …
The Moderating Effects of HIV Relevant Factors on the Relationship Between Intimate Partner Violence and Intention to Start HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among Cisgender Women
The presence, action, and influence of bystanders who witness sexual harassment against medical students
Purpose Sexual harassment (SH) is a widespread problem in academia, with a disproportionate impact on female medical students and those who experience marginalization via multiple systems of oppression (e.g. racism, heterosexism). Bystander intervention education is a potential approach which frames violence as a community issue where all members have a role to play in response and prevention. This study assessed the presence and influence of bys…
Women’s views on communication with health care providers about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention
Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic in the USA, effective interventions to reduce HIV risk among cisgender women have been lacking. Although oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in pharmacologically preventing HIV infection, there is a gap between the recommended use of PrEP and PrEP uptake among eligible women. This study aimed to identify the role of patient-provider communication in PrEP decision-making among women conside…

Feasibility and Acceptability of Engaging Significant Adults in Youth Sexual and Relationship Violence Prevention Work
Relationship and sexual violence (RSV) disproportionately affect youth in immigrant and other marginalized communities yet few prevention initiatives are truly grounded in their experiences. The current study represents a pilot implementation evaluation of youth-led workshops to engage significant adults (parents, grandparents, aunts, adult siblings, community leaders) as RSV prevention partners in diverse communities in a large urban area. The c…

Urban Commuter Campus Students’ Perspectives on Sexual Violence
Barriers to and Facilitators of Help-Seeking Behavior Among Men Who Experience Sexual Violence
Research on sexual violence and related support services access has mainly focused on female victims; there is still a remarkable lack of research on men who experience sexual violence. Research demonstrates that people who both self-identify as men and are members of sexual-orientation minority populations are at higher risk of sexual violence. They are also less likely to either report or seek support services related to such experiences. The p…

Neighborhood and Network Characteristics and the HIV Care Continuum among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
Characteristics and Correlates of Lifetime Suicidal Thoughts and Attempts Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) and Transgender Women
This study examined characteristics and correlates of lifetime suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts among HIV-negative young Black men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (transwomen) between 16 and 29 years of age ( N = 161). In our sample, 36.6% of young Black MSM and transwomen reported a history of lifetime suicidal thoughts, while 16.1% reported prior suicide attempts. Using multivariable analysis, a history of intimate partn…
Impact of a community-level intervention on HIV stigma, homophobia and HIV testing in New York City
CHHANGE was feasible and acceptable to community residents. Evaluating community-level interventions is challenging. Our triangulated approach yielded somewhat conflicting results, which may be due to design limitations. Further research is needed to understand whether and how CHHANGE affected HIV testing
Risk Factors for Femicide in Abusive Relationships
Objectives. This 11-city study sought to identify risk factors for femicide in abusive relationships. Methods. Proxies of 220 intimate partner femicide victims identified from police or medical examiner records were interviewed, along with 343 abused control women. Results. Preincident risk factors associated in multivariate analyses with increased risk of intimate partner femicide included perpetrator’s access to a gun and previous threat with a…
Neighborhood Characteristics and Disability in Older Adults
The urban environment may have a substantial impact on whether an older adult with a given level of functional impairment is able to age actively and remain independent
Policing, Drugs, and the Homicide Decline in New York City in the 1990s
This research reassesses the role of policing and drugs in the sharp homicide decline in New York City in the 1990s. Drawing on theoretical arguments about “broken windows” policing and lethal violence associated with the diffusion of crack cocaine, we estimate the effects of measures of misdemeanor arrests and cocaine prevalence on homicide rates with pooled, cross‐sectional time‐series data for 74 New York City precincts over the 1990–1999 peri…
Neighborhood-Level Correlates of Consistent Condom Use among Men Who have Sex with Men
Social Support Among Women in Methadone Treatment Who Experience Partner Violence
This study explores types, availability, use, and satisfaction of support among women in methadone treatment who reported partner violence. It also examines the role of the woman's intimate partner in isolating her from her social network. A total of 68 women participated in 1 of 14 two-hour focus groups. The findings suggest that male dominance and control function to isolate and prevent women from accessing support needed to cope with partner v…
The informal social control of intimate partner violence against women
Intimate partner violence against women is a major public health and social problem. However, our understanding of how the geographic community or neighborhood influences its distribution is underdeveloped. In contrast, there is accumulating evidence that neighborhood characteristics, such as social cohesion and related neighborhood factors, are associated with general violence both at the neighborhood and individual levels. Drawing insights from…
Femicide and Social Disorganization
In the United States, homicide is a leading cause of death among young women. In New York City between 1990 and 1997, although the overall number of femicides declined markedly, intimate partner femicides increased. The reason for this is unclear. Sociostructural accounts of homicide rates have traditionally focused on the importance of socioeconomic factors indicative of social disorganization. A feminist critique of this perspective suggests th…

Dual Arrest and Other Unintended Consequences of Mandatory Arrest in New York City
The Role of Neighborhood Environment and Risk of Intimate Partner Femicide in a Large Urban Area
Objectives. We evaluated the contribution of neighborhood-level factors indicative of social disorganization, including educational and occupational attainment, immigrant concentration, physical disorder, and social cohesion, to the likelihood of intimate partner femicide (IPF) while taking into account known neighborhood- and individual-level IPF risk factors. Methods. We used medical examiner data on 1861 femicide victims between 1990 and 1999 …

Aren’t I a Victim?”
The mandated arrest of domestic violence perpetrators is a policy response to the problem of partner violence. Mandatory arrest can result, however, in unintended and sometimes undesirable arrest outcomes, including dual arrests (when both parties are arrested), retaliatory arrests (when the perpetrator has his or her partner wrongfully arrested), and failures to make an arrest (when one is warranted by law). Using an interactionist perspective, …

Neighborhood Characteristics and Sexual Intimate Partner Violence Against Women Among Low-Income, Drug-Involved New York City Residents
We assessed relations among neighborhood characteristics and sexual intimate partner violence against women (SIPVAW), among low-income, drug-involved, women (n = 360) and men (n = 670) in New York City between 2005 and 2009. Six percent of women (n = 22) and 5% of men (n = 33) reported experiencing and perpetrating SIPVAW in the past year with a main partner. In adjusted mixed models among women, neighborhood ethnic heterogeneity was significantl…

Informal Social Control of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
How the neighborhood environment relates to intimate partner violence against women has been studied using theories applied originally to general violence. Extending social disorganization and collective efficacy theories, they apply a traditional measure informal social control that does not reflect behaviors specific to partner violence. We conducted a concept mapping study in two New York City neighborhoods, to understand what behaviors neighb…

Harnessing the Power of Advocacy–Research Collaborations
The advocacy-research partnership has been identified as a key method of conducting the feminist and activist research that is important to domestic violence. However, these partnerships are often fraught with challenges that may jeopardize their development, sustainability, and potential impact on policy. Previous commentators have identified key challenges to engaging in advocate-researcher collaborations. This article takes particular care to …

Neighborhood-Level Correlates of Consistent Condom Use among Men Who have Sex with Men
Managing identity impacts associated with disclosure of HIV status
Disclosure of HIV status to potential and current sex partners by HIV-positive people (HIVPP) is a complex issue that has received a significant amount of attention. Research has found that disclosure depends upon the evaluation by HIVPP of potential benefits and risks, especially of the risks stemming from the profound social stigma of HIV and AIDS. Drawing on concepts from Goffman's classic stigma theory and Anderson's more recently developed c…
