Midwifery Care and Doula Support for Black Women in the United States
Black women in the United States face significant maternal and birth disparities, including high rates of mortality and morbidity. Midwifery care and doula support are promising sources of support for Black women and have been associated with improved maternal, birth, and infant outcomes; however, population-specific research is limited. This systematic review examined and synthesized findings across the literature on the impacts of midwifery car…
Awareness, Acceptability, and Preferences for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Modalities Among Black Women
Black women experience a disproportionate burden of human immunodeficiency virus in the United States, yet use of pre-exposure prophylaxis remains low. This article critically reviews published research on barriers to and facilitators of pre-exposure prophylaxis acceptability among Black women and presents findings from a qualitative pilot study examining awareness and preferences for available and emerging prevention modalities. A critical revie…
Unmet Sex Education Needs among Young Adult Black Women in the United States
Are Motivations and Consequences for Sexting with Boys and Men the Same for Sexually Diverse and Heterosexual Girls
Adolescent sexually diverse girls with dual sexual attraction face greater sexual and reproductive health risks for sexually transmitted infections and adolescent pregnancy than heterosexual girls. However, little is known about whether sexual risks among sexually diverse girls extend to differences in approach and avoidance sexting motivations and their associations to sexual consequences. A sample of 200 cisgender girls (N = 90 sexually diverse…
Using Dynamic Causal Bayesian Networks to Assess the Role of Patient-Centered Care and Individual-Level Barriers on Viral Suppression Changes Among a Cohort of People with HIV
To assess the impact of changes in barriers to HIV viral suppression and the moderating role of patient-provider relationships, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using dynamic causal Bayesian network analyses on the first two available needs assessments between May 2020 and December 2022 for clients of the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program (RWP) Part A Program. A cohort of 1539 individuals was formed using data from the RWP medical cas…
Awareness of State-Level Abortion Policy Climates among Young Adult Black Women
Race- and ethnicity-specific patient-provider relationship characteristics associated with antiretroviral therapy adherence and viral suppression among minority women with HIV, Miami-Dade County, Flor…
We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the associations between items of the patient-provider relationship measures and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and viral suppression within each of three ethnic groups of women with HIV (WHIV) - Hispanic, Haitian, and African American - using data from 542 WHIV enrolled in the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were applied for each…
A Qualitative Study Exploring How the Perspectives and Experiences of Cisgender Black Women Inform Their Readiness to Consider Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV Prevention
Attention to increasing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among cisgender Black women (CBW) in the southern United States (U.S.) is necessary to achieve national 2030 Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) goals. Qualitative exploration of CBW's readiness to use PrEP is necessary to discern whether practical solutions to addressing PrEP uptake within this HIV-vulnerable population are feasible. Focus group discussions (n = 5) and key informant interview…
Barriers to Covid-19 vaccination and strategies to increase trust and uptake among racial and ethnic minorities with HIV in South Florida
Vaccination efforts for PWH should prioritize addressing specific barriers and concerns related to their HIV status and tailoring strategies to meet their needs
Modeling the Mediating Effects of HIV-Related Stigma on the Associations Between Race/Ethnicity and Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence and Viral Suppression Among Diverse Racial and Ethnic Minority Wome…
The State of Sexual Education
Objectives. To assess state laws and regulations mandating sexual education in US public schools in 2025. Methods. We identified and analyzed state statutes, administrative regulations, and state court decisions that mandated sexual education in public schools in every US state and the District of Columbia. We coded content requirements, attributes (e.g., “age-appropriate”), and parental notice and consent policies. Results. Forty-two US states r…
Exploring State- and Individual-Level Characteristics Associated with Perceived Barriers to Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Among Young Adult Black Women
Young adult Black women (YABW) report inadequate access to and experiences receiving sexual and reproductive health care. The purpose of this research was to examine perceived barriers to care among YABW. A nationwide sample of 500 YABW ages 18-22 years participated in an online survey. Participants reported on perceived logistical (knowledge, access, and cost) and stigma-based barriers (disclosure, discomfort, and judgment) to accessing prescrip…
Using Causal Bayesian Networks to Assess the Role of Patient-Centered Care and Psychosocial Factors on Durable HIV Viral Suppression
An examination of the independent and intersectional effects of racial and heterosexist medical mistrust on timing of sexual/reproductive health care visits among Black sexual minority women in the US…
Experiences of racism and heterosexism in medical settings are social and systemic barriers to 'on-time' receipt of sexual and reproductive health services among women with both racial and sexual minority identities. Medical mistrust based on experiences related to these dual identities is associated with avoidance and delays in care. However, investigators are just beginning to apply an intersectional lens to quantitatively understanding such ba…
Culture and Patient-Provider Trust Among People with HIV
Factors associated with HPV vaccine acceptability and hesitancy among Black mothers with young daughters in the United States
Introduction: Compared to other-race peers, Black women are disproportionately impacted by human papillomavirus [HPV] infection, related health outcomes, and cervical cancer mortality as a result of suboptimal HPV vaccine uptake during adolescence. Few studies in the United States have examined psychosocial determinants of HPV vaccine acceptability and hesitancy among Black parents. The current study integrated the health belief model and the the…
Determinants of Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake in Adolescents 12–17 Years Old
As of December 8, 2021, 9.9 million U.S. adolescents ages 12–17 years old remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) despite FDA emergency approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use among this age group in May 2021. A slow-down in adolescent vaccine uptake and increased likelihood of hospitalization among unvaccinated youth highlight the importance of understanding parental hesitancy in vaccinating their adolescent children a…
Predictors of Contraceptive Self-Efficacy and Condom Use Among Young Black Women Who Have Sex With Women and Men
Black women who have sex with women and men (BWSWM) are at risk for unplanned pregnancies, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, there is a paucity of studies assessing psychosocial factors related to sexual risk in this population. This study investigated the relationship among condom use; contraceptive self-efficacy; lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) identity; sexuality-religious conflict;…
