  • Ethical Issues in Treating Substance Use Disorders

    Open AccessJames L Sorensen, Caravella McCuistian et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2024

    Ethical issues arise frequently in the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD). Counselors need guidance to navigate ethical dilemmas but receive limited training in resolving ethical issues. To narrow the gap between the ethical dilemmas counselors face and their training, this qualitative study assessed ethical issues that counselors encounter, how they resolve them, and desired training. We conducted qualitative individual interviews with 2…

  • The Impact of Sibling Relationships on Behavioral and Sexual Health among Latino Sexual Minority Men

    Open AccessJuan Pablo Zapata, Edwin Rojas et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024Cited by: 1References: 58

    Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective method for preventing HIV acquisition and plays a crucial role in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US initiative. However, there are various barriers that hinder the access and uptake of PrEP among Latino sexual minority men (SMM) at individual, interpersonal, and cultural levels. While the significance of cultural factors in designing and implementing HIV prevention programs for Latino popu…

  • Drug Use, Family Support, and Depressive Symptoms Among Latinx Sexual Minority Men

    Open AccessHomero E del Pino, Nina T Harawa et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    Family rejection has negative health consequences for Latinx sexual minority men (LSMM). However, LSMM often reconcile with their families, a phenomenon cross-sectional studies miss. We analyzed longitudinal data from the Healthy Young Men's Study in Los Angeles. We used individual fixed-effects Poisson regression to model changes over time in the associations among family support, drug use, and depressive symptoms. We found that (1) the initiati…

  • Measuring Gender Role Conflict, Internalized Stigma, and Racial and Sexual Identity in Behaviorally Bisexual Black Men

    Open AccessHomero E del Pino, W Neil Steers et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2022

    Black men who have sex with men and women (BMSMW) experience pressure to fill hypermasculine ideals and may not identify with “gay” cultural norms. Existing measures of gender role expectations and internalized homophobia are not culturally appropriate for BMSMW. Researchers generally measure categorical identification with race, gender, and sexual orientation groups separately, whereas BMSMW may identify with multiple categories. We modified the…

  • “Being downcast by society… adds to the stress levels and would explain why [we] smoke more.”

    Homero E del Pino, Jagadisa-Devasri Dacus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2020

    Smoking causes more deaths among people living with HIV than HIV infection itself. Few smoking cessation interventions and studies of sexual minority communities have considered the lived experiences of Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) living with HIV. Before developing interventions for these men, we need to answer: How do experiences of discrimination and stigma influence their perceptions of smoking? This phenomenological study was led b…

  • Attitudes towards exercise among substance using older adults living with HIV and chronic pain

    Annie L Nguyen, Jordan E Lake et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    Chronic pain and substance use disorders occur commonly among HIV-infected persons. Recent CDC guidelines recommend non-pharmacologic approaches over opioid medications for the management of chronic pain. This is particularly relevant for persons with substance use disorders. Structured physical activity may be an effective strategy for pain reduction. We developed a combined cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) + exercise intervention to reduce pa…

  • The Healthy Community Neighborhood Initiative

    Arleen F Brown, D’Ann Morris et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2016

    The HCNI community-academic partnership has built a framework to assess and document the individual, social, and community factors that may influence clinical and social outcomes in a community at high-risk for preventable chronic disease. Our project suggests that a community collaborative can use culturally and scientifically sound strategies to identify community-centered health and social needs. Additional work is needed to understand strateg…

  • Stigma and family relationships of middle-aged gay men in recovery

    Homero E del Pino, Mignon R Moore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2016Cited by: 1References: 14

    The primary objective of this study was to explore how middle-aged gay men in recovery cope with stigma and family relationships. For gay men, perceptions of acceptance of their sexual orientation and degree of social connectedness can play a role in their recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders. Yet gay men may have a more difficult time accessing certain family-level health resources because their families of origin may stigmatize, re…

  • Negotiating Emotional Support

    Homero E del Pino, Mignon R Moore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2014Cited by: 4References: 10

    This study explores how sober gay Latino men obtain support from their families. Familial ties can be a protective health factor, yet many gay Latinos experience rejection from family members because of their sexuality. There are very few studies that examine the extent and quality of emotional support from kin for this population. Understanding family dynamics within the context of recovery and sexuality can increase our understanding of how to …
