Navigating Sexual Health and Gender Identity in Homeschooling Contexts
Introduction Homeschooling has expanded rapidly in the United States over the past two decades and even more so in the post-COVID era. Yet little research has examined its implications for sexual and reproductive health education or gender identity development. Existing scholarship primarily centers parental motivations, leaving the lived experiences of homeschooled youth largely unexplored. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted betwe…
Demystifying Traumatic Experiences and Complex Effects in People with HIV and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Tennessee
Background: Compared with the general public, people with HIV (PWH) experience more psychological trauma and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet limited research explores how PWH may uniquely experience trauma. The primary goal of this study was to investigate trauma exposure typologies and sequelae among PWH to inform trauma screening and interventions. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience samp…

Using a community-based participatory research approach, an HIV coalition and an academic institution formed a p…
Church Attendance as a Predictor of Number of Sexual Health Topics Discussed Among High-Risk HIV-Negative Black Women
Discussing Adolescent Sexual Health in African-American Churches
Practicing What Is Preached
Through the current analysis, we aimed to better understand the relationship between congregational support and HIV prevention behaviors among a sample of high‐risk, HIV‐negative Black women. Participants were 434 Black women who were at high risk for contracting HIV through heterosexual sex. They were recruited from a city in the Mid‐Atlantic region. Data were collected through face‐to‐face interviews and Audio Computer‐Assisted Self‐Interviews.…
An Exploration of Faith Leaders' Beliefs Concerning HIV Prevention
Despite the growing body of research on faith-based human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) initiatives, there are few studies exploring the perspective of faith leaders involved in HIV prevention efforts. This exploratory study examined how 29 faith leaders conceptualized key aspects of HIV prevention. Sexual health beliefs, perspectives on condom distribution, and facilitating factors and barriers to implementing an HIV program were explored. Sevent…
Adolescents’ Use of Indoor Tanning
Objectives. We evaluated psychosocial, built-environmental, and policy-related correlates of adolescents’ indoor tanning use. Methods. We developed 5 discrete data sets in the 100 most populous US cities, based on interviews of 6125 adolescents (aged 14–17 years) and their parents, analysis of state indoor tanning laws, interviews with enforcement experts, computed density of tanning facilities, and evaluations of these 3399 facilities’ practices…
Perceived Skin Cancer Risk and Sunscreen Use among African American Adults
We examined perceived skin cancer risk and its relationship to sunscreen use among a large ( N = 1932) random sample of African American adults for the first time. Skin cancer risk perceptions were low (Mean = 16.11 on a 1-100 scale). Sun-sensitive skin type and a prior cancer diagnosis were associated with higher perceived skin cancer risk, but demographic factors were not. Unlike findings for Whites, perceived skin cancer risk was not associate…
Promoting Sun Safety Among US Postal Service Letter Carriers
Objectives. We examined whether US Postal Service letter carriers who received a sun safety intervention would wear wide-brim hats and sunscreen significantly more often than those who did not receive the intervention. Methods. We used a 2-group randomized design with 2662 evaluation cohort participants from 70 US postal stations. Evaluations were conducted at baseline, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Questionnaire items assessed occupational use …
