Mobile enhanced prevention support for people leaving jail
The period following community reentry from incarceration is associated with elevated risks of drug overdose, HIV transmission, and other harms. The importance of leveraging mobile technology to facilitate service access has grown with smartphone use. Peer navigation has shown efficacy for individuals at risk of HIV transmission. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 19 individuals assigned male at birth (all who have sex with men) wh…
Forces to Be Reckoned with
The 'countervailing powers' framework conceptualizes health care as an arena for power contests among key stakeholders, drawing attention to the moves, countermoves, and alliances that have challenged physicians' dominance since the 1970s.

We draw on 145 interviews with frontline physicians across four U.S. cities during the COVID…
