Reimagining Support After Sexual Violence
Evaluation of a community-informed multimedia intervention to increase PrEP awareness and intention among African American young adults
Despite the benefits of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV and its potential for reducing racial/ethnic HIV inequities, PrEP remains underutilized among African Americans who may benefit from it. Factors of PrEP uptake include awareness and acceptability of this prevention strategy among this group, yet few community-informed interventions have been developed and evaluated to address these challenges. Thus, this study evaluates the…
Understanding Influences on Intention to Use Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among African American Young Adults
Perspectives of Transgender and Nonbinary Health Care Providers on Gender Minority Patient Simulation
Health disparities experienced by gender minority (GM; i.e., transgender or nonbinary) patients have become a recent focus in health professions education. 1 However, trainee competencies, guidelines, and best practices have not been established or widely discussed.

A Qualitative Exploration of Various Stigmas Impacting HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Uptake Among African American Young Adults
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has promise for reducing racial/ethnic HIV disparities; yet, acceptance among African Americans remains low. PrEP-related stigmas may impact uptake, but this is understudied. This study examines mechanisms by which stigma impacts PrEP acceptance among various priority African American populations. Focus group data from 63 African American young adults (aged 18-29 years) in Louisville, Kentucky, explore how various …

Informal carers make a significant contribution to illness management in communities, but many struggle to access support and remain 'hidden carers'. We aimed to explore how carers of people with common long-term conditions (LTCs, such as coronary heart disease or kidney disease) conceptualised their caring, and whether they struggled to identify themselves with the term 'carer' or access for support. We conducted semi-structured interviews with …
