Does Resilience Mediate the Relationship Between Negative Self-Image and Psychological Distress in Middle-Aged and Older Gay and Bisexual Men
Open AccessMark Brennan‐ing, Sabina Haberlen et al.ARTICLEResearch on Aging2025
Aging gay and bisexual men may have negative self-image s due to body image dissatisfaction and internalized ageism, resulting in psychological distress. Gay and bisexual men with HIV may be at greater risk for distress because of research linking HIV to accelerated aging. We examined associations between self-image and psychological distress, and potential mediating effects ( resilience, fitness engagement ) , and whether these relationships wer…

PrEP-Related Medical, Structural and Institutional Mistrust among a Socioeconomically Diverse Sample of Black, Latine, Asian, and White Young Sexual Minority Men
Open AccessJessica Jaiswal, Marybec Griffin et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025
Mistrust among marginalized populations has been shown to negatively impact health behaviors and outcomes. Young sexual minority men (YSMM) experience many health inequities, including those related to HIV. Understanding how YSMM think about and experience medical, structural, and institutional mistrust is critical to effectively promoting engagement in preventive services like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The study recruited 43 YSMM (ages 25…
Toward a social ecological understanding of nonsuicidal self-injury in sexual and gender minority individuals
Alana Richards, Blake Kosciow et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2025
(5th ed.) as a condition for further study, external to its previous classification as a symptom of borderline personality disorder. NSSI is stigmatized due to its self-inflicted nature, which may be exacerbated among individuals holding multiply marginalized identities, like sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. Often evaluated at the individual level, little is understood about the multilevel social factors that shape SGM individuals' v…
A Decarceral Response to HIV Criminalization in the Black LGBTQIA+ Community
Louis Listerud, Steven Meanley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2025Referências: 17
HIV criminalization statutes continue to disproportionately impact Black queer and trans individuals, particularly Black transgender and gender-expansive people and sex workers, and have historically served as a way to inequitably punish communities for a disease that affects them because of inequitable systems rooted in the legacy of slavery. To achieve the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2030 goals for Ending the HIV Epidemic in th…
Disrupting the Path from Depression to Loneliness
Open AccessMaria De Jesus, David Ware et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024
Existing studies examining resilience among sexual minority men (SMM) have been limited by only analyzing 1 level of resilience. We therefore investigated the impact of multiple levels of resilience on the bidirectional relationship between loneliness and depression symptoms among older SMM. Loneliness, depression symptoms, and multilevel resilience scores were collected across 3 time points (October 2016 to March 2017 [T1]; October 2017 to March…

Advance Care Planning Among Sexual Minority Men
Open AccessDaniel Siconolfi, Emma G Thomas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2023Referências: 5
Objectives: Advance care planning (ACP) specifies decision-making surrogates and preferences for serious illness or end-of-life medical care. ACP research has largely neglected sexual minority men (SMM), a population that experiences disparities in health care and health status. Methods: We examined formal and informal ACP among SMM ages 40+ in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study ( N = 1,071). Results: For informal ACP (50%), younger SMM and men wi…
Social identity support, descriptive norms, and economic instability in PrEP engagement for emerging adult MSM in the United States
Stephen Bonett, Jose Bauermeister et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
Rates of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake for HIV prevention continue to increase rapidly among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (U.S.); however, these increases have been slower among young MSM. Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25) is a time of transitions and social development, resulting in increased vulnerability to HIV. Analyzing data from a cross-sectional survey of emerging adult MSM (ages 18–25 years; n = 281) in the …

Leveraging Resilience-supportive Strategies to Enhance Protective Factors in Young Sexual Minority Men
Steven Meanley, Patrina Sexton Topper et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2022
Behavioral HIV interventions focused on strengthening young sexual minority men's (SMM) internal (assets) and external (resources) protective factors are promising, yet their evaluation as resilience-supportive strategies to minimize or negate HIV-related risks remain understudied. The objective of this scoping review was to describe resilience-supportive intervention strategies that have been used to achieve desired HIV behavioral outcomes and t…
Psychometric assessment of a homophobia management scale among cisgender sexual minority men in midlife and older adulthood
Open AccessSteven Meanley, Mark Brennan‐ing et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Sexual Orientation…2022Referências: 11
Interpersonal management of homophobic stigma (e.g., selectively constructing one's social network; confronting stigma) is an understudied area of resilience among sexual minority people. Among a sample of cisgender sexual minority men (SMM; N = 798) in midlife and older adulthood, we assessed the psychometric properties and characterized the sociodemographic differences of our newly developed, theory-informed homophobia management scale. Data co…
The relationship between serving as a mentor and depressive symptoms among sexual minority men in the Macs healthy aging study
Aruna Chandran, Sabina Haberlen et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Sexual Orientation…2022Referências: 9
Sexual minority men (SMM) in the US are twice as likely to experience mental health challenges, including depressive symptoms, compared with their heterosexual counterparts. Having a like-mentor, or a sexual minority mentor, is associated with improved mental well-being among SMM mentees. However, few studies have explored the potential benefits to mentors. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we calculated a perceptions of mentoring score that en…
Biopsychosocial Health Outcomes and Experienced Intersectional Stigma in a Mixed HIV Serostatus Longitudinal Cohort of Aging Sexual Minority Men, United States, 2008‒2019
M Reuel Friedman, Qimin Liu et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2022Citada por: 2Referências: 66
Objectives. To determine whether intersectional stigma is longitudinally associated with biopsychosocial outcomes. Methods. We measured experienced intersectional stigma (EIS; ≥ 2 identity-related attributions) among sexual minority men (SMM) in the United States participating in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. We assessed longitudinal associations between EIS (2008‒2009) and concurrent and future hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, antiretr…
The interplay of familial warmth and LGBTQ+ specific family rejection on LGBTQ+ adolescents’ self‐esteem
Open AccessSteven Meanley, Dalmacio D Flores et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2021
INTRODUCTION: Our study sought to assess the interplay of family dynamics, namely familial warmth and LGBTQ+ specific rejection, and its association to self-esteem in a non-probabilistic sample of LGBTQ+ adolescents in the United States. METHODS: Stratified by (1) cisgender and (2) transgender and non-binary LGBTQ+ adolescents (N = 8774), we tested multivariable regression analyses to assess the association between familial warmth and LGBTQ+ spec…

Open AccessMark Brennan-Ing, Mark Brennan‐ing et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2021Citada por: 3Referências: 8
Connection to the gay community may be a source of resilience for aging MSM by lessening negative self-appraisals and promoting strategies that address body image dissatisfaction and self-perceptions of aging. Interventions facilitating connections to the gay community may support healthy aging in this population
Expectations and beliefs
Open AccessJordan M Sang, James E Egan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2021Referências: 46
We developed measures of relational beliefs and expectations among single young gay and bisexual men (YGBM). Data come from an online cross-sectional study YGBM, which ran from July 2012 until January 2013. There were 50 items on relational beliefs and 25 items on relational expectations. We used random split samples and a priori analysis to group items together and applied principal axis factoring with varimax orthogonal rotation. We had a total…

Are Sexual Minority Stressors Associated with Young Men who Have Sex with Men’s (YMSM) Level of Engagement in PrEP
Steven Meanley, Cristian Chandler et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2020
Sexual minority stressors (community homophobia, sexuality-related discrimination, and internalized homonegativity) are negatively associated with accessing HIV prevention services among men who have sex with men (MSM). Few studies have tested minority stressors' associations with PrEP engagement among high-HIV risk young MSM (YMSM). Therefore, we assessed the associations between PrEP-indicated YMSM's progression along the PrEP continuum and the…
Topics for Inclusive Parent-Child Sex Communication by Gay, Bisexual, Queer Youth
