Contrasting perspectives and applications of the Good Samaritan Overdose Prevention Law
BACKGROUND: The overdose crisis in the U.S is complex, with opioid overdoses compounded more recently with rising stimulant-involvement. Individuals who experience or witness overdoses often avoid calling 911 due to fear of criminal-legal system consequences. Many U.S. states have "Good Samaritan Laws" (GSLs) protecting those seeking help for overdoses, but research is lacking on the understanding and role of GSL in overdose response among people…
Characterizing disparities in the HIV care continuum among U.S. transgender and cisgender Medicare beneficiaries, 2008–2017
Although HIV is more prevalent among transgender and gender-diverse individuals than cisgender people, a dearth of research has compared the HIV-related care engagement of these populations. Using 2008-2017 Medicare data, we identified TGD (trans feminine and non-binary [TFN], trans masculine and non-binary [TMN], unclassified gender) and cisgender (male, female) beneficiaries with HIV and explored within and between gender group differences in t…
Preventing overdoses involving stimulants
Completion of this study will yield a rich understanding of the social epidemiology of stimulant and opioid-involved overdoses in addition to community-derived intervention strategies that can be readily implemented and scaled to prevent such overdoses in two states disproportionately impacted by the opioid and overdose crises: Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Gender minority stress is associated with past-year suicidal ideation in a national probability sample of transgender and gender diverse adults
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults experience increased discrimination and victimization relative to cisgender adults, thus elevating their risk for suicidal ideation (SI). Social support and connection to the broader TGD community may mitigate the relationship between gender identity-based stressors (i.e., interpersonal minority stressors), psychological stress processes (i.e., intrapsychic minority stress processes), and TGD adults' ri…
Factors associated with transmasculine adults recently engaging in sexual behavior with partners of unknown STI and HIV status
Community support for sexual and gender diversity, minority stress, and mental health
Family Functioning as a Protective Factor for Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Gender Minority Adolescents
Gay Men’s Health and Identity
Due to significant historical change in the late 20th and early 21st century related to both health and cultural attitudes toward homosexuality, gay men of distinct birth cohorts may diverge considerably in their health and identity development. We argue that research on gay men's health has not adequately considered the significance of membership in distinct generation-cohorts, and we present a life course paradigm to address this problem. Focus…
Attitudes toward Bisexual Men and Women among a Nationally Representative Probability Sample of Adults in the United States
As bisexual individuals in the United States (U.S.) face significant health disparities, researchers have posited that these differences may be fueled, at least in part, by negative attitudes, prejudice, stigma, and discrimination toward bisexual individuals from heterosexual and gay/lesbian individuals. Previous studies of individual and social attitudes toward bisexual men and women have been conducted almost exclusively with convenience sample…
