HIV-related Stigma and Alcohol Involvement Among People with HIV Who Engage in Unhealthy Drinking
Unhealthy alcohol use is linked to several adverse health outcomes among people with HIV (PWH). HIV-related stigma (HRS) has been identified as a potential risk factor for unhealthy drinking, but research has been limited, and findings have been equivocal. This cross-sectional study examined associations between HRS and alcohol-related indices in a national sample of PWH with unhealthy alcohol use enrolled in an intervention trial for one of two …

Cocaine Use, Unhealthy Alcohol Use, and PainInterference Among People with HIV
Pain is prevalent among people with HIV (PWH), and many PWH who experience pain also use substances (illicit drug and/or unhealthy alcohol use). While cocaine use and cocaine and alcohol co-use are prevalent in this population, their effects on pain in PWH are unknown. This study aims to investigate the association of cocaine use and co-use of cocaine and alcohol with pain interference among PWH. We completed a secondary analysis of the Boston Al…
Breaking tradition
Doctoral programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education often include qualifying exams as a central component of the curriculum. While these exams are designed to assess a student’s knowledge and potential to conduct independent research as part of the culminating dissertation phase of their studies, they can also inadvertently perpetuate structural biases and barriers for underrepresented groups. Biostatistics pro…

Sex Work Stigma as a Partial Mediator Between Social Support and Depressive Symptoms Among Vulnerable Women Engaged in Sex Work in Southern Uganda
Residential Evictions by Life Course, Type, and Timing, and Associations with Self-rated Health
Few existing data sources quantify the magnitude of court-ordered and illegal residential evictions, among historically marginalized groups. We describe the Social Epidemiology to Combat Unjust Residential Evictions (SECURE) Study (2021-2024; n = 1,428; 91.1% response rate) methodology and participant characteristics. Univariable and multivariable statistics including Spearman correlations were used to describe data. Unadjusted and adjusted modif…
Social Vulnerability and Mental Health Among People with HIV and Substance Use
Intention to initiate and uptake of PrEP among women who injects drugs in a demonstration project
Some women who inject drugs (WWID) would benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), yet there are few studies of issues related to uptake in real-world settings. In this study, participants (n = 95) were offered PrEP and responded to items measuring PrEP-related attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. We tested associations with intention to initiate PrEP and uptake. Most WWID (88%) intended …
Predictors of Willingness to Diffuse PrEP Information within Ego-Centric Networks of Women Who Inject Drugs
Motivations for PrEP-Related Interpersonal Communication Among Women Who Inject Drugs
A qualitative egocentric social network approach was taken to explore motivations for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-related communication between women who inject drugs and network members. Eligible participants were HIV-negative, 18 years or older, and participating in a PrEP demonstration project in Philadelphia, PA, USA. The study employed content analysis of in-depth interviews to identify themes related to contextual and relational factors…
Validation of a Standardized Multiple-Choice Multicultural Competence Test
The Multicultural Counseling and Psychotherapy Test (MCPT), a measure of multicultural counseling competence (MCC), was validated in 2 phases. In Phase 1, the authors administered 451 test items derived from multicultural guidelines in counseling and psychology to 32 multicultural experts and 30 nonexperts. In Phase 2, the authors administered the top 50 discriminative items to licensed mental health professionals (N = 227) and compared MCPT scor…
