Relationship between substance use and socio-behavioral drivers of poor ART adherence among young people with HIV in Zambia
Despite improved access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Zambia, adherence among young people with HIV (YPHIV) remains suboptimal, compromising treatment effectiveness. YPHIV face unique developmental and socio-behavioral challenges including HIV-related stigma, depression and substance use, which further undermine consistent ART adherence. Alcohol and drug use impair cognitive and emotional functioning, increasing the likelihood of disrupted m…
Social media use, risk behavior engagement, and mental health among middle adolescents in the Caribbean
Social media plays a pivotal role in adolescents’ lives. Social media encounters, including online risk behaviors, may influence real-world risk behaviors and mental health. This study explored the magnitude and patterns of social media use, risk behaviors, and mental health among boys and girls and examined associations between these factors. A survey was administered to Grade 9 students in New Providence, The Bahamas, in 2023 to assess their so…
Barriers and facilitators to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Thailand
Young MSM (YMSM), aged 15-24, account for nearly half of new HIV infections in Thailand. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective prevention medicine for populations at substantial HIV risk, yet YMSM frequently have suboptimal uptake of and adherence to PrEP. We conducted 35 in-depth interviews with YMSM to explore barriers and facilitators of both PrEP initiation and adherence. Interviews also elicited the perceptions and experiences of h…
Living a private lie
Effectively addressing stigmas and poor mental health outcomes among young HIV-positive MSM and TGW will require adopting a socio-ecological approach that focuses on structural interventions, more trauma-informed and identity-supportive care for young people with HIV, as well as strengthening of authentic community-informed public health efforts
A qualitative study of ethnic Korean women and men's experiences of HPV and HPV vaccination in the United States
The findings highlight cultural factors that may impede the discussion about and uptake of HPV vaccination and HPV-associated cancer screening, which emphasize the need for culturally appropriate interventions to overcome stigma around HPV and enhance vaccination rates. Healthcare providers should consider ethnic and cross-cultural differences perceptions to effectively HPV-related health information. This study provides insight into the experien…
Examine Race/Ethnicity Disparities in Perception, Intention, and Screening of Dementia in a Community Setting
A trend in ethnic disparities in screening for ADRD was observed. Our findings point to the fact that there is a scarcity of studies focusing on describing ethnic-specific ADRD screening behavior as well as a lack of those examining the impact of ethnicity on ADRD screening behavior, especially studies where Asian Americans are almost invisible
Awareness, knowledge, social norms, and vaccination intentions among Khmer mother–daughter pairs
Culturally and linguistically appropriate communication strategies such as storytelling or visual presentation approaches may be more effective than the current practice of using information-based written materials to promote HPV vaccination and health education among Cambodian Americans
