Illuminating the invisible
Online lurking is a common behavior but defining it and understanding its motivations is complex. Various definitions and measurements for online lurking have been employed but have often suggested “lurking” to be conflated with other behaviors. This study developed and tested a scale to measure consistent online lurking (COOL), addressing the need for a clear conceptualization and measurement of this behavior. Exploratory factor analysis explica…
Individual Differences in a Multidimensional Measure of Compulsive Mobile Phone Use
Due to their ubiquity, compulsive mobile phone use (CMPU) should include cognitive, psychological, and behavioral dimensions. This study has two main objectives-(a) explicate a multidimensional measure of CMPU and examine individual differences in the various dimensions and (b) conceptualize mobile phone self-efficacy and examine its relationship with CMPU. A survey with 446 U.S. adults was conducted in which respondents completed assessments rel…
Examining user engagement and use of fitness tracking technology through the lens of technology affordances
The promise of fitness tracking technology in promoting positive health behaviours lies in its ability to allow users to track their physical activity, receive personalised feedback, and connect with other users. Previous studies have examined predictors of fitness tracker use and antecedents of user engagement. However, little is known about how technology affordances of fitness trackers motivate individuals to engage with the technology and whe…

Person perception is an integral aspect of human communication and is increasingly relevant in computer-mediated communication (CMC) because of the mobile and ubiquitous nature of mediated communication. Based on the hypothesis that nonverbal cues in CMC such as emoticons, acronyms, exaggerated spellings, acronyms, and altered sentence structure are similar to face-to-face nonverbal cues and have similar communicative outcomes, this study examine…
Psychometric evaluation and validation of the HIV Stigma Scale in Spanish among men who have sex with men and transgender women
Stigma and discrimination toward the LGBTQ community is pervasive and negatively impacts health. Validated measures of stigma in Spanish, however, are limited and none have specifically validated HIV-related stigma in Spanish-speaking men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) in resource-limited settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of a standardized HIV Stigma Scale, translated to Spanish, i…
The Evolution of Research in Journalism and Communication
Assessments of programmatic research remain important in the current higher education landscape, as the field of Journalism & Mass Communication (JMC) enters its second century. This study profiles scholarly productivity across the larger discipline’s first century, focusing on scholarly output for institutions in referred journals indexed by the Communication Institute for Online Scholarship (CIOS) database since 1915. The 30 most prolific schol…
Evaluation of HIV risk and outcomes in a nationally representative sample of incarcerated women in Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine
Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) is the only region globally where HIV incidence continues to rise. HIV is concentrated among high risk groups like prisoners. HIV prevalence is higher among women than men in both prisons and communities. Data are lacking on the HIV care continuum among female prisoners to inform effective HIV prevention and treatment interventions. This study examined HIV risk, prevalence of infectious diseases, access t…
A Moderated Mediation Model of HIV-Related Stigma, Depression, and Social Support on Health-Related Quality of Life among Incarcerated Malaysian Men with HIV and Opioid Dependence
A multipronged evidence-based approach to implement mHealth for underserved HIV-infected populations
Mobile technology shows great promise in resource-limited settings due to its low cost and pervasive nature. Early evidence-based studies have shown robust support for mHealth interventions implemented among people living with HIV (PLWH); however, this type of inquiry is lacking amongst the most vulnerable groups of PLWH such as men who have sex with men (MSM), prisoners, and those facing substance use disorders (SUDS) and structural instabilitie…
Social Network Strategies to Address HIV Prevention and Treatment Continuum of Care Among At-risk and HIV-infected Substance Users
Examining the Acceptability of mHealth Technology in HIV Prevention Among High-Risk Drug Users in Treatment
Communication technology use and mHealth acceptance among HIV-infected men who have sex with men in Peru
The HIV epidemic in Peru is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM). Given that MSM have been documented as early adopters of emerging technology, we examined communication technology access and utilization, and mobile health (mHealth) acceptance among Peruvian MSM and transgender women (TGW) in order to gauge opportunities for mHealth-enabled HIV interventions. A convenience sample of 359 HIV-infected MSM and TGW recruited from three …
Contribution of Substance Use Disorders on HIV Treatment Outcomes and Antiretroviral Medication Adherence Among HIV-Infected Persons Entering Jail
Post-Release Substance Abuse Outcomes Among HIV-Infected Jail Detainees
Alcohol consumption patterns and sexual risk behavior among female sex workers in two South Indian communities
Two Sides of the Same Story
This qualitative study examines the role of alcohol in sexual risk among male migrant workers and female sex workers in two South Indian states. Most men reported using alcohol for increased energy and courage prior to their sexual experiences and to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Sex workers, on the other hand, often stated that they avoided alcohol prior to sex in order to stay alert and reduce the risk of violence. Both groups re…
Living with HIV infection
Through interviews, we examined explanatory frameworks of living with HIV infection among 50 HIV-positive individuals (23 women, 27 men) receiving care at a non-governmental organization in Chennai, India. Results were analysed according to three sets of issues, all of which were found to differ by gender: causal beliefs about HIV, impact of HIV, and care/treatment of HIV. HIV-positive participants attributed their infection to biological, moral …
