Applying the Transtheoretical Model and the Motivating PrEP Cascade to Better Understand the Correlates of Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Readiness Among Cisgender Black Women: A Correlational Study
Examining the Potential Impact of Restricting Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Housing for Individuals With Certain Criminal Convictions in Texas
Because housing is central to the recovery of individuals with experiences of homelessness and incarceration, it is important to consider how U.S. policies denying housing to residents with criminal histories can adversely affect racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with a history of homelessness. The state of Texas passed a rule specifying certain criteria that Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) supportive housing providers must use t…
Understanding the Experiences of Latinx LGBTQ Texans at the Beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Marginalized communities have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, including both racial/ethnic minority and sexual minority populations. To date, there has been little research examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the intersections of marginalized identities. Furthermore, available national data on COVID-19 outcomes may obscure our understanding of region-specific outcomes, particularly in the U.S. South. Using an intersecti…
Health-related quality of life and recovery capital among recovery residents taking medication for opioid use disorder in Texas

Methods: Project HOMES is an ongoing longitudinal study implemented in 14 recovery homes in Texas. This is a cross-sectional analysis of data …
Medical Care Needs of Laundromat Users in San Antonio, Texas: A Potentially Unique Setting for Health Interventions
Changes in criminal justice involvement among renters in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit properties
In the United States, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the main way that the federal government subsidizes place-based housing for low-income individuals including those with experiences of homelessness. Although these communities are at risk of criminal justice involvement (CJI), the relationship between living in LIHTC housing and CJI remains underexplored. This study analyzed data on a retrospective cohort of LIHTC supportive housi…

The Mental Health of Male Sexual Minority Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Nairobi, Kenya: A Aualitative Assessment
Very little information exists about the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees who are men who have sex with men (MSM). Therefore, this study explores the psychological distress of MSM asylum seekers and refugees in the Nairobi metropolitan area. We collected data using in-depth interviews transcribed verbatim, coded using NVivo 12 Plus, and analyzed using the six-step thematic analysis framework. Four major themes emerged from the study: ps…
"They Didn't Ask." Rural Women With Disabilities and Experiences of Violence Describe Interactions With the Healthcare System
Women with disabilities are at risk of experiencing multiple forms of severe and prolonged violence, yet guidelines for screening this population are unclear, screening rates are historically low, and screening tools may be inadequate to capture disability-related aspects of abuse. We conducted qualitative in-depth interviews with 33 rural women in the United States with diverse disabilities and experiences of violence. They described overarching…
Sexual Violence and Chemsex among Substance-Using Sexual and Gender Minorities in Texas
Chemsex is the use of methamphetamine or other substances to enhance sexual experiences, and is most often associated with sexual minority men. Within the chemsex literature, questions of sexual violence emerge due, in part, to ambiguity about what constitutes consent within sexualized environments with co-occurring substance use. = 22). Among survey participants, 12.8% experienced a form of sexual violence (10.1% experienced intimate partner vio…

Sexual Satisfaction in Monogamous, Nonmonogamous, and Unpartnered Sexual Minority Women in the US
Research on sexual satisfaction tends to focus mostly on heterosexual women and women in monogamous relationships. Sexual satisfaction among sexual minority women and women who are nonmonogamous or not partnered is under-researched. Through an online survey, we gathered data from 334 cisgender sexual minority women in various relationship configurations and assessed sexual satisfaction in relation to individual and interpersonal factors. Sexual s…
Factors Associated with Contraceptive Use in Women Who Have Sex with Women and Men: An Exploratory Analysis
Women who have sex with women and men (WSWM) are less likely to use effective contraception and more likely to experience unintended pregnancies than their exclusively heterosexual peers. The authors examined contraception use among a community sample of 80 WSWM (defined as genital contact with at least one cisgender man and woman during the past 12 months) of reproductive age living in the Midwest. Authors determined if contraceptive use differe…

Sexual Minority Women's Satisfaction with Health Care Providers and State-level Structural Support: Investigating the Impact of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Nondiscrimination Legislation
Health and identity-related interactions between lesbian, bisexual, queer and pansexual women and their healthcare providers
Disclosure of sexual identity among sexual minority women is related to better outcomes and improved quality of care. The existing literature on sexual minority women's experiences of identity disclosure and related interactions with healthcare providers draws little distinction between different groups of sexual minority women, despite the different barriers, stigma and health outcomes that exist between them. This paper presents factors influen…

A total of 1,080 men who identified as gay or bisexual and as a member of the bear community and were 18 years or older completed the survey. Overall, fewer than a third of men reported condom u…
Attitudes toward Bisexual Men and Women among a Nationally Representative Probability Sample of Adults in the United States
As bisexual individuals in the United States (U.S.) face significant health disparities, researchers have posited that these differences may be fueled, at least in part, by negative attitudes, prejudice, stigma, and discrimination toward bisexual individuals from heterosexual and gay/lesbian individuals. Previous studies of individual and social attitudes toward bisexual men and women have been conducted almost exclusively with convenience sample…

Participan…
E vulva lution: The Portrayal of Women's External Genitalia and Physique across Time and the Current Barbie Doll Ideals
Media images of the female body commonly represent reigning appearance ideals of the era in which they are published. To date, limited documentation of the genital appearance ideals in mainstream media exists. Analysis 1 sought to describe genital appearance ideals (i.e., mons pubis and labia majora visibility, labia minora size and color, and pubic hair style) and general physique ideals (i.e., hip, waist, and bust size, height, weight, and body…
Genital Appearance Dissatisfaction: Implications for Women's Genital Image Self-Consciousness, Sexual Esteem, Sexual Satisfaction, and Sexual Risk
Findings regarding the link between body image and sexuality have been equivocal, possibly because of the insensitivity of many of body image measures to potential variability across sensory aspects of the body (e.g., appearance versus odor), individual body parts (e.g., genitalia versus thighs), and social settings (e.g., public versus intimate). The current study refined existing methods of evaluating women's body image in the context of sexual…
Safer, Better Sex Through Feminism: The Role of Feminist Ideology in Women's Sexual Well-Being
Feminists have argued that traditional gender norms can obstruct women's sexual well-being ( Amaro, 1995 ; Morokoff, 2000 ; Tolman, 2006 ; Walker, 1997 ). Therefore, we expected feminist ideology, by virtue of this critique, to be associated with women's sexual subjectivity and sexual well-being. To test this model, we analyzed data from a survey of college-age women ( N = 424) using structural equation modeling. As hypothesized, feminist ideolog…
The Behavioral Definitions of “Having Sex With a Man” and “Having Sex With a Woman” Identified by Women Who Have Engaged in Sexual Activity With Both Men and Women
A sizable minority of women report lifetime sexual behavior with both men and women. In the present study, a multinational sample of women who reported genital contact with at least one man and one woman in their lifetime (N = 2,751) were asked to provide their behavioral definitions of "having sex with a woman" and "having sex with a man." Replicating previous research, participants were asked "Would you say you 'had sex' with a woman/man if the…

Sex Toy Use by Gay and Bisexual Men in the United States
The Year’s Best: Interpersonal Elements of Bisexual Women’s Most Satisfying Sexual Experiences in the Past Year
Sexual satisfaction is commonly defined and discussed in physiological terms of arousal and orgasm. Yet this narrow discourse does not accommodate the complex, multidimensional, and interpersonal aspects of sexual experience. To broaden and deepen our understanding of sexual satisfaction, we employed McClelland's (2014) holistic four-factor framework of sexual satisfaction in a theoretical thematic analysis of 39 behaviorally bisexual women's des…

From Bias to Bisexual Health Disparities: Attitudes Toward Bisexual Men and Women in the United States
PUROPSE: A newly emergent literature suggest that bisexual men and women face profound health disparities in comparison to both heterosexual and homosexual individuals. Additionally, bisexual individuals often experience prejudice, stigma, and discrimination from both gay/lesbian and straight communities, termed "biphobia." However, only limited research exists that empirically tests the extent and predictors of this double discrimination. The Bi…
