Impact of a Trauma-Informed Intervention on Psychosocial and HIV Treatment Outcomes Among Older Adults Living with HIV
A childhood sexual abuse (CSA) history is more prevalent among people living with HIV and may have lingering effects among older adults living with HIV (OALH). However, studies examining the impact of trauma-informed interventions among OALH are scant. The aim of the study was to determine the preliminary effect of the Coping with Childhood Sexual Abuse, HIV, and Aging (CoSHA) intervention on depressive symptoms, coping and ART adherence among OA…

“We Want to Go Home”
Against the churn
Drawing on twenty interviews conducted in 2022 with restorative justice practitioners and transformative justice advocates in Winnipeg, Manitoba, we examine how restorative justice navigates the churn of institutionalization. In Manitoba, this churn is strengthened through the creation of the Restorative Justice Centre as a government clearinghouse for referrals and funding. Simultaneously, anti-institutional philosophies of defunding, abolition,…
Disparities in United States Nationwide County-Level PrEP Rate and PrEP to Need Ratio During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background The COVID-19 pandemic created numerous barriers to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access in the United States (US). The present study aimed to understand changes in county-level PrEP use relative to the need for PrEP during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for racial minorities. Method Public county-level data from 2019 to 2022 were used. Linear mixed models with multiple imputations and adjusting for covariates were used to examin…
Varying Forms of Childhood Sexual Abuse and Late-Life Depression Among Older Adults Living with HIV
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been linked to depression in adulthood. However, studies examining the potential link between CSA and depression in older adulthood are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association between CSA and late-life depression among older adults living with HIV (OALH) using two measures of depression. Data were obtained from OALH attending an immunology clinic in South Carolina (n = 91). Multiva…

Stories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) among older adults living with HIV (Oalh) in South Carolina
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) devastatingly impacts an individual's behavioral, psychological, and social health.

Compared with the general population, CSA prevalence is doubled among people living with HIV. Thus, the study aimed to explore CSA circumstances among older adults living with HIV (OALH) in South Carolina (SC). We include…
Childhood sexual trauma and opioid use among older adults living with HIV
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been linked to substance use and substance use disorders in adulthood. However, there have been limited studies examining the relationship between CSA and opioid use among older adults living with HIV (OALH). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the association between CSA and opioid use among OALH (n = 91). Data were obtained from an HIV clinic population in South Carolina using paper-and-pen, and on…
Childhood sexual abuse and antiretroviral therapy adherence among older adults living with HIV
Findings on the association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence have been varied, with some studies showing a relationship, or a lack thereof. However, to our knowledge, no study has examined this association among older adults living with HIV (OALH). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association between CSA and ART adherence among OALH using a mixed methods approach. This study, w…
Health disparities in mortality among individuals with HIV-associated dementia in South Carolina

A Comparison between Farm-Related Stress, Mental Health, and Social Support between Men and Women Farmers
Agricultural producers have worse mental health than the general population; however, recent research has not considered differences in stressors and mental health conditions by gender. A survey was mailed to a random sample of farmers in Illinois to screen for symptoms of anxiety and depression and identify sources of stress and social support. Men experienced more stress related to environmental and economic conditions than women, while women t…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and HIV-Related Stigma
Experiencing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may impact personal opinions, attitudes, and judgments, which can further result in HIV-related stigma. HIV-related stigma consequentially may impact HIV preventive measures such as HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake, and condom use. The extent to which ACEs influence HIV-related stigma perception has not been well studied. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the association between AC…
Anti-Racism Efforts in Healthcare
Health effects of structural racism occur on cultural and institutional levels and potentiate racism on an interpersonal level. Consequently, efforts to mitigate the health effects of racism may require intervention on all levels. The effectiveness of these approaches may depend partly on the degree to which they address the underlying patterns of social cognition, shaping social norms and influencing thoughts, feelings, and expectations about on…
