Gender and sexual minority PhD students experience epistemic exclusion in STEM
People with gender minority (e.g., transgender, agender, nonbinary) and sexual minority (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, queer) identities are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In the current research, we examine whether gender and sexual minorities report greater epistemic exclusion (i.e., institutional devaluation of their contributions) and worse academic outcomes compared to their cisgender a…
Exploring Factors Affecting Patient–Provider Interactions and Healthcare Engagement Among a Diverse Sample of Women Who Have Sex with Women in New York City
Women who have sex with women (WSW) have lower rates of engagement in health care and preventive screenings than women who have sex exclusively with men. Existing literature provides limited insight into how intersecting and overlapping identities, such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and identities related to gender expression, may shape individuals’ experiences within health care. We conducted qualitative interviews in …

Changes in Utilization of Birth Control and PrEP During Covid-19 in the USA
In the USA, the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges beyond the direct consequences of the infection. Because of shifting resources in response to need, many domains within the healthcare sector unrelated to COVID-19 have had interrupted abilities to provide care. In the current study, we focus on preventative sexual health care during the pandemic. In a sample of 511 (mean age = 27.7) people, we examined quantitative data regarding continuat…
Psychometric Evaluation and Predictive Validity of an Adapted Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale for PrEP
Toward an Intersectional Psychological Science of Reproductive Norms
Pronatalism is the belief system that encourages parenthood and reproduction, supporting the notion that a woman’s value is rooted in her ability to give birth to and parent children. Pronatalist expectations are disproportionately applied to high-status women in the United States, prescribing not only that women are supposed to reproduce, but which women are supposed to reproduce. Those who deviate from this hegemonic idea of a prototypical moth…
