The Empowerment Theory-based Community Forum as a CBPR Dissemination and Translation Method
The empowerment theory-based community forum method fulfills an important role within CBPR. There is great potential to apply lessons learned about this method to disseminate and translate future study findings into concrete next steps
Partnering With Youth to Map Their Neighborhood Environments: A Multilayered GIS Approach
Mapping approaches offer great potential for community-based participatory researchers interested in displaying youth perceptions and advocating for change. We describe a multilayered approach for gaining local knowledge of neighborhood environments that engages youths as coresearchers and active knowledge producers. By integrating geographic information systems with environmental audits, an interactive focus group, and sketch mapping, the approa…
Correlates of Haart adherence among immigrant Latinos in the southeastern United States
We explored the relationships between sociocultural and psychological constructs and adherence to antiretroviral therapy among predominantly Spanish-speaking immigrant Latinos in the southeastern United States. A cross-sectional clinic-based sample of immigrant Latino men and women participated in an interviewer-administered assessment. Self-reported prevalence of adherence was assessed along with demographic characteristics, acculturation, physi…
Prevalence Estimates of Health Risk Behaviors of Immigrant Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men
Purpose: Little is known about the health status of rural immigrant Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). These MSM comprise a subpopulation that tends to remain “hidden” from both researchers and practitioners. This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use, and sexual risk behaviors of Latino MSM living in rural North Carolina. Methods: A community‐based participatory research (CBPR) partnership used resp…
Female Sex Work Within the Rural Immigrant Latino Community in the Southeast United States: An Exploratory Qualitative Community-Based Participatory Research Study
Study findings suggest that it is possible to identify and recruit sex workers and clients and collect formative data within this highly vulnerable and neglected community; the prevention of HIV and STDs is a priority among sex workers, and the need for a larger study to include non-Latino men who report using Latina sex workers, other community insiders (e.g., bartenders), and service providers for Latina sex workers
Exploring the Use of Nonmedical Sources of Prescription Drugs Among Immigrant Latinos in the Rural Southeastern USA: Nonmedical Sources of Prescription Drugs
BACKGROUND: Little is known about access to medicine among immigrant Latinos in the United States (US). This study explored access to, and use of, prescription drugs obtained from nonmedical sources among recently arrived, Spanish-speaking immigrant Latinos in rural North Carolina (NC). METHODS: Our community-based participatory research partnership collected, analyzed, and interpreted data from individual in-depth interviews with Latino communit…
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Culturally Congruent Intervention to Increase Condom Use and HIV Testing Among Heterosexually Active Immigrant Latino Men
Medications for Sexual Health Available from Non-Medical Sources: A Need for Increased Access to Healthcare and Education Among Immigrant Latinos in the Rural Southeastern USA
Latino men who have sex with men and HIV in the rural south-eastern USA: Findings from ethnographic in-depth interviews
A community-based participatory research partnership explored HIV risk and potentially effective intervention characteristics to reduce exposure and transmission among immigrant Latino men who have sex with men living in the rural south-eastern USA. Twenty-one participants enrolled and completed a total of 62 ethnographic in-depth interviews. Mean age was 31 (range 18-48) years and English-language proficiency was limited; 18 participants were fr…
Sexual and alcohol risk behaviours of immigrant Latino men in the South‐eastern USA
Little is known about the intersections of immigration, masculinity and sexual risk behaviours among recently arrived Latino men in the USA. Nine immigrant Latino men from three urban housing communities in the South-eastern USA used photovoice to identify and explore their lived experiences. From the participants' photographs and words, thirteen themes emerged within four domains. The immigration experience and sociocultural norms and expectatio…
