Associations Between Microaggressions, Discrimination, and Brain Health Among Black Women Living with HIV
INTRODUCTION: Despite advancements in the treatment of HIV, Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) experience significant disparities in brain health and related factors, which may be linked to microaggressions, systemic inequities, and discrimination. Factors such as functional activity, brain health, sleep, and diet also play a role in the overall health of an individual. This study examines how experiences of microaggressions are associated with …
Narrative Self‐Transcendence
INTRODUCTION: Self-transcendence-connectedness within and beyond the self-is a complex phenomenon theorized to increase with age, but evidence is mixed. This longitudinal study is the first to investigate changes in self-transcendence across late midlife using life story narratives. METHOD: We tracked self-reported and narrative identity self-transcendence scores of 163 participants as they aged from M = 56.4 (SD = 0.95) to M = 64.5 (SD = 0.94). …
Linear growth modeling of religious coping and social support among Black women living with HIV in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic
Among Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) the current study aimed to quantitatively assess changes in religious coping and social support over time via linear growth modeling (LGM). BWLWH (N = 276) provided longitudinal survey data on demographics, religious coping, and social support across fourteen study visits (between 2019 and 2024) at three-month intervals in the Southeastern United States. Religious coping and social support mean scores flu…
Testing for Measurement Invariance (MI)
Assessing measurement invariance and the interplay of discrimination, microaggressions, and resilience among Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) across time utilizing latent class and repeated measure analysis may provide novel insights. A total of 151 BWLWH in a southeastern U.S. city completed surveys focused on multiple forms of microaggressions and discrimination (race, gender, sexual orientation, or HIV-related) and resilience factors (socia…
A Pilot Randomized Control Trial of the Striving Towards EmPowerment and Medication Adherence (STEP-AD) Intervention for Black Women Living with HIV
Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) face adversities associated with lower HIV medication adherence, viral non-suppression, and mental health symptoms (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder) such as trauma/violence, racism, HIV-related discrimination/stigma, and gender-related stressors. We developed the first intervention based in cognitive behavioral therapy and culturally congruent coping for BWLWH to increase medication adherence and decrease …
A Quantitative Intersectional Exploration of Sexual Violence and Mental Health among Bi + People
Young bisexual people report disparities related to mental health and sexual violence compared to their heterosexual and gay/lesbian peers. However, the majority of research in these areas does not employ an intersectional design, despite evidence that health outcomes vary by race and gender within bi + populations. The goal of this paper is to provide an intersectionally-informed exploration of the prevalence of sexual violence among a diverse s…
