Change in relationship status and internalizing symptoms among adolescents: Testing bidirectionality and moderation by sexual orientation, gender, and age
Adolescent romantic experiences are socially normative and serve important social and developmental functions. Despite the well-established concurrent link between romantic involvement and internalizing symptoms in heterosexual adolescents, limited and mixed evidence exists on the directionality of this association. Research on this topic in sexually diverse adolescents is scarce. We sought to clarify how changes in relationship status and intern…
An empirical test of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model of willingness and intention to use HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among adolescent men who have sex with men
BACKGROUND: Adolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, yet uptake of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among AMSM is low. Theory-based research is needed to increase PrEP adoption for HIV prevention among AMSM. PURPOSE: Using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model, we aimed to (1) examine information, motivation, and behavioral skills as determinants of willingness and intention to use …
Parent Facilitation of Condom Access and HIV Testing Associated with Improved Sexual Health Outcomes for Sexual Minority Young Men
History of Incarceration is Associated with Unmet Socioeconomic Needs and Structural Discrimination among Young Black Sexual Minority Men (SMM) in the United States
There is a dearth of research on incarceration among young Black sexual minority men (SMM). The current study aimed to assess the prevalence and association between unmet socioeconomic and structural needs and history of incarceration among young Black SMM. Between 2009 and 2015, young Black SMM (N = 1,774) in Dallas and Houston Texas were recruited to participate in an annual, venue-based, cross-sectional survey. We found that 26% of the sample …

The Influence of Families on LGBTQ Youth Health: A Call to Action for Innovation in Research and Intervention Development
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and other sexual and gender minority youth (LGBTQ) experience myriad health inequities relative to their cisgender heterosexual peers. Families have a profound impact on adolescent health, but little is known about this influence on LGBTQ youth specifically. We draw on work presented at a public symposium that aimed to characterize existing scientific evidence, identify gaps in knowledge, a…
Resilience and depression in young Black men who have sex with men: A social-ecological model
Although the health of young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) is typically discussed in terms of HIV, they are significantly affected by depression. The present study explored protective and risk pathways to depressive symptoms among YBMSM within a social-ecological framework. A cross-sectional sample of 1,817 YBMSM in two large, southern cities in the United States completed a survey of sociodemographic characteristics as well as individu…

Putting stigma in context: Do perceptions of group stigma interact with personally experienced discrimination to predict mental health
Research has linked experiences of personal discrimination with negative mental health consequences, but less is known about the role of group stigma (perceived stigma against one’s group as a whole). The theoretical literature has offered mixed predictions. The present study examined the independent and interactive effects of group stigma and personal discrimination on depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in a sample of gay and bisexual men…
Health consequences of racist and antigay discrimination for multiple minority adolescents
Individuals who belong to a marginalized group and who perceive discrimination based on that group membership suffer from a variety of poor health outcomes. Many people belong to more than one marginalized group, and much less is known about the influence of multiple forms of discrimination on health outcomes. Drawing on literature describing the influence of multiple stressors, three models of combined forms of discrimination are discussed: addi…
Is Good Sex Good for You? Rethinking Sexuality and Health
Despite the central importance of sexuality to human well‐being, the study of sexuality remains marginalized within health psychology, which hampers the ability of clinicians and policy‐makers to promote comprehensive health and well‐being. In this review we discuss the evidence that sexual functioning makes critical contributions to human health, focusing specifically on findings linking sexual activity to morbidity and mortality, to the health‐…
An Intervention to Help Community‐Based Organizations Implement an Evidence‐Based HIV Prevention Intervention: The Mpowerment Project Technology Exchange System
Considerable resources have been spent developing and rigorously testing HIV prevention intervention models, but such models do not impact the AIDS pandemic unless they are implemented effectively by community‐based organizations (CBOs) and health departments. The Mpowerment Project (MP) is being implemented by CBOs around the US. It is a multilevel, evidence‐based HIV prevention program for young gay/bisexual men that targets individual, interpe…
Experiences of Harassment, Discrimination, and Physical Violence Among Young Gay and Bisexual Men
Objectives. We examined the 6-month cumulative incidence of anti-gay harassment, discrimination, and violence among young gay/bisexual men and documented their associations with mental health. Methods. Gay/bisexual men from 3 cities in the southwestern United States completed self-administered questionnaires. Results. Thirty-seven percent of men reported experiencing anti-gay verbal harassment in the previous 6 months; 11.2% reported discriminati…
Perceived antigay discrimination and physical health outcomes
This unusual pattern of results in gay and bisexual men replicates the findings from previous research with African American men and suggests that failing to recognize or acknowledge discrimination can have negative health consequences for some individuals from marginalized groups

Do Hostility and Neuroticism Confound Associations Between Perceived Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms
A growing body of research links perceived discrimination to psychological distress, yet recent reviews of this literature suggest that the subjectivity inherent in reports of discrimination is an important methodological consideration. Specifically, personality characteristics may predispose individuals to psychological distress and also affect whether discrimination is perceived, thereby spuriously inflating associations between discrimination …
The Impact of Internalized Homophobia on HIV Preventive Interventions
A growing body of research implicates internalized homophobia—the internalization of society's antihomosexual sentiments by gay and lesbian people—as a factor contributing to HIV‐related sexual risk behavior in gay and bisexual men. Although accumulating evidence links internalized homophobia and sexual risk behavior, no study has explored the impact of internalized homophobia on efforts to prevent these behaviors. This paper examines the effect …

Family Rejection as a Predictor of Negative Health Outcomes in White and Latino Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Young Adults
OBJECTIVE. We examined specific family rejecting reactions to sexual orientation and gender expression during adolescence as predictors of current health problems in a sample of lesbian, gay, and bisexual young adults. METHODS. On the basis of previously collected in-depth interviews, we developed quantitative scales to assess retrospectively in young adults the frequency of parental and caregiver reactions to a lesbian, gay, or bisexual sexual o…
Family Acceptance in Adolescence and the Health of LGBT Young Adults
ISSUE: The role of family acceptance as a protective factor for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) adolescents and young adults has not been established. METHODS: A quantitative measure with items derived from prior qualitative work retrospectively assessed family accepting behaviors in response to LGBT adolescents' sexual orientation and gender expression and their relationship to mental health, substance abuse, and sexual risk in yo…
