This study examines behavioral predictors of academic success among seventh graders enrolled in the Russian School of Mathematics, a rigorous extracurricular mathematics program.

I Have Moments Where I Am Down, But It Has Made Me Resilient”
We analyzed mental health strengths among youth at-risk for or living with HIV ages 14 to 24 years. In total, 13% of participants were living with HIV, 88% identified as LGBQ+, and 14% identified as transgender, gender diverse, or non-binary. Most identified as either Hispanic/Latine (36%) or non-Hispanic Black (44%). Data from 257 youth in Los Angeles, California, and New Orleans, Louisiana, were collected within strengths-based coaching interve…

Results suggest that hookups are relatively "safe", with the the majority involving n…

The Association between Incarceration and Transactional Sex among HIV-infected Young Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
Transitioning HIV-infected adolescents to adult care at 14 clinics across the United States
HIV-infected adolescents have disproportionately low rates of care retention and viral suppression. Approximately half disengage from care while transitioning to adult clinics, in part due to fragmented care systems and lack of streamlined protocols. We conducted 58 qualitative interviews with social service and health care providers across 14 Adolescent Trials Network clinics (n = 28) and 20 adult clinics that receive transitioning adolescents (…
The “kaleidoscope” of factors influencing urban adolescent pregnancy in Baltimore, Maryland
Existing intervention and prevention efforts for adolescent pregnancy focus primarily on individual-level approaches; however, there is an emerging expectation to include a more contextually based social-ecological approach. This approach is salient in urban communities like Baltimore, Maryland, with one of the nation’s highest adolescent pregnancy and birth rates. Poverty, community violence, and compromised school systems further complicate the…
