“It’s Not Just One Decision, It’s a Whole Lifestyle Change”

Culturally Responsive Outreach and Peer Navigation to Improve HIV Prevention and Care for Latino Gay and Bisexual Men in Atlanta
Holocene interactions between marine nomads and their coastal landscape in the Strait of Magellan, southern Patagonia
State Violence against Mapuche Women in Chile, 1998-2018
Mapuche women both suffer and resist state violence in Chile, particularly with regard to neoliberal, multinational extractive projects in the southern regions and the militarized police that protect these projects.

Additionally, the majority of texts on sta…
Getting by with a Little Help from Our Friends

We surveyed low-income, predominantly Hispanic/Latino/as residents receiving STI-testing and/or HIV/AIDS care in the lower Rio Grande Valley of so…
A Community-Based Mindfulness Intervention Among Latino Adolescents and Their Parents
Community Needs Assessment among Latino Families in an Urban Public Housing Development
Studies examining the health of public housing residents are limited. In response, community-based participatory research principles were used to develop an intervention aimed at improving health outcomes related to multifactorial risk behaviors among Latino families living in a low-income neighborhood. A two-part needs assessment was completed to guide the intervention: interviews with parents ( n = 10) and a group model building (GMB) workshop …
Contextualising family microaggressions and strategies of resilience among young gay and bisexual men of Latino heritage
Young Latino gay and bisexual men experience discrimination due to heterosexism and racism from within and beyond their communities. Although most research has emphasised overt forms of discrimination, a growing body of research is examining the effects of microaggressions, or indirect forms of discrimination, on racial and sexual minorities. The purpose of this study was to explore the contexts of various types of microaggressions, as well as de…
