Conservative Control, Scientific Suppression
A Case for Achieving Refugee Health Equity
In the context of rising global displacement and the politicization of humanitarian assistance, refugee health disparities are worsening due to trauma, stigma, and limited access to health and social services. Structural oppression, rooted in state policies and dominant nationalist narratives, perpetuates these inequities, which are often overlooked in mainstream health equity literature. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers a pro…
Dark skin girls are unworthy of protection”
Current systems, such as families, schools, and media, should seek to address stereotyped messages and mistreatment that harm Black girls' development. Programming surrounding colorism, gendered racism, and discrimination may serve as an opportunity to begin dismantling systems rooted in Eurocentric preferences that encourage the oppression and mistreatment of Black girls based on skin tone. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights rese…
Navigating Access to Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has contributed significantly to stabilizing HIV incidence rates across most populations. However, significant disparities in HIV incidence and PrEP uptake persist among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). This study delved into the individual, sociocultural, and structural factors associated with PrEP access and uptake among 28 BMSM residing in designated HIV hotspots. Participants were recruited from communit…
Exploring Preventive Health Care Utilization Among Black/African American Men
Black/African American (BAA) men have the lowest life expectancy among other major demographic groups in the United States, with BAA male mortality rates 40% higher than their White male counterparts. Despite known benefits of preventive health care utilization, BAA men are 43% more likely to use the emergency department for usual care. Many intersecting factors like medical mistrust and religion have been identified as common barriers BAA men fa…
Writing Qualitative Research Proposals Using the Pathway Project Mapping Tool
This article describes using the Qualitative Pathway Project Mapping Tool (QL-PPMT) to guide the development of rigorous qualitative research proposals. The original PPMT was initially developed to assist nursing students in planning their quantitative research proposals and has been widely used by faculty to advise student research projects. In this paper, we have adapted the 26 sections of the PPMT to provide a comprehensive checklist and road …
Application of Adapt-ITT
Adapting evidence-based interventions to incorporate Black girls and their Black male caregivers should be driven by a relevant theoretical framework that aligns with the target population(s). Adapting the intervention in partnership with the community has been shown to improve acceptability and feasibility as it is responsive to community needs. Using a systematic process like the ADAPT-ITT model will ensure that the new program is ready for eff…
Preliminary Evaluation of a Citizen Scientist Educational Curriculum Aimed at Engaging Black Men in Lung Cancer Early Detection Screening
This article describes an educational program to engage African American men as citizen scientists (CSs) and future research partners in a lung cancer screening project. We provide an overview of the curriculum used, the structure and format of the educational sessions, and associated educational outcomes. Furthermore, we describe lessons learned in the engagement of African American men as CS in community-based lung-health equity research. The C…
Intimate Partner Violence and the Role of Child Maltreatment and Neighborhood Violence
Background : Research suggests that intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with childhood maltreatment and violence exposure within the neighborhood context. This study examined the role of child maltreatment and violence exposure on intimate partner violence, with the moderating effects of mental disorders (IPV) among US Black women. Methods : Data from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL), the largest and most complete sample on t…
Laying the groundwork for participatory research with a Rohingya refugee community
Particularly for newly arrived refugee and immigrant communities, historical disenfranchisement and current stressors can impact how CBPR partnerships are developed and nurtured, thus, ongoing considerations of chronosystemic factors, attending to community-specific priorities while also connecting with other communities, and embracing multiple roles of academic researcher, advocate, and ally, can facilitate CBPR partnership development and futur…
A Qualitative Community Assessment of Racial/Ethnic Sexual Gender Minority Young Adults
HIV/STI, substance use, and mental health issues disproportionately affect racial/ethnic sexual minority young adults. These health vulnerabilities intensify across the life course, most notably when young adults are independent college students. To identify the perspectives of racial/ethnic sexual gender minorities living on or near an urban university, we implemented an intersectionality-informed SWOT (strengths, weakness, opportunities, and th…
Intersectional health and wellbeing analysis of racial/ethnic sexual gender minority young adults among an urban minority-serving institution campus community
This paper features an intersectional SWOT analysis conducted at a minority-serving institution within a US Midwest urban setting, to inform the development of harm-reduction services for racial/ethnic sexual gender minority young adults. Our findings revealed the nuances of structured inequities, environmental challenges that are directly linked to access to resources and reduced opportunities to socialize within affirming spaces for racial/ethn…
Intimate Partner Violence May Be One Mechanism by Which Male Partner Socioeconomic Status and Substance Use Affect Female Partner Health
Background: Although male partners' socioeconomic status (SES) and substance use is associated with worse health of female partners, the mechanism behind this link is still unknown. Objectives: To investigate whether intimate partner violence (IPV) is a mechanism by which male partners' SES and substance use influence female partners' self-rated health (SRH) as victims and survivors of IPV. Materials and Methods: Fragile Families and Child Wellbe…
