  • Examining Relationship-Level Predictors of Individual-Level Health in Long Distance Relationships

    Open AccessSteve N Du Boi, Steve N Du Bois et al.ARTICLEThe Family Journal2022

    Long distance relationships (LDR) are increasingly common, particularly among postsecondary students. The geographic separation inherent in LDR, and related relationship factors, may have implications for the health of individuals in LDR. However, little current work examines these potential associations. The current study examined associations between relationship-level predictors (satisfaction, stress, maintenance) and individual-level health (…

  • Marital Satisfaction Is Associated With Health in Long-Distance Relationships

    Open AccessWren Yoder, Steve N Du Boi et al.ARTICLEThe Family Journal2020

    Individuals with high marital satisfaction tend to have better health and engage in healthier behaviors than those with low marital satisfaction. Multiple studies have explored satisfaction–health associations for married individuals in proximal relationships (PR), but no known study has tested these associations for married individuals in long-distance relationships (LDR). LDR is a relationship arrangement that challenges traditional conceptions…

  • Developing Prepare2Thrive, a community-based intervention targeting treatment engagement among African American individuals living with HIV and serious mental illness

    Steve N Du Boi, Steve N Du Bois et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    African American individuals living with HIV and serious mental illness (SMI) may report relatively low treatment engagement, despite treatment engagement being critical to managing both health conditions. Here, we have two aims: to describe the methodology we used to collect focus group data on treatment engagement with a sample of African American individuals living with HIV and SMI, and to describe the results of those focus groups in the cont…

  • A longitudinal analysis of HIV treatment adherence among men who have sex with men

    Steve N Du Boi, Steve N Du Bois et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    HIV is best managed by adhering to both medication and HIV care appointment schedules. Nonetheless, many HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) report low levels of adherence to both. To explain this, we tested a cognitive escape model whereby drug and alcohol use mediate the effects of depression on HIV medication and appointment adherence. We used longitudinal data (n=856) from a behavioral intervention promoting increased treatment adher…

  • HIV in Young Men Who Have Sex with Men

    Brian Mustanski, Brian S Mustanski et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2011

    Epidemiological studies have found that young men who have sex with men (YMSM) represent the majority of young people infected with HIV annually in the United States. Further, they are one of the few risk groups to show an increase in the rate of infections in recent years. In addition to these disparities in prevalence and infection rates, there is an inequity in prevention and intervention research on this population. The purpose of this articl…

  • Health Care Disparities and Behavioral Health Among Men Who Have Sex with Men

    Lisa M Alvy, David J Mckirnan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2011Cited by: 5

    Men who have sex with men (MSM) engage in several harmful health behaviors more frequently than do non-MSM. Meanwhile, evidence suggests that MSM experience barriers to accessing health care. To investigate health care disparities and health behaviors, we compared data from a diverse MSM sample (N = 871) to data from men from the National Health Interview Survey (N = 7,783). MSM reported less health care access than did general population men, an…

  • An Academic Course That Teaches Heterosexual Students to be Allies to LGBT Communities

    Peter Ji, Steve N Du Boi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2009Cited by: 10References: 6

    A theory of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) ally identity development integrated the following theories—multicultural counseling theory (MCT), self-concept formation theory (SCFT), and social identity theory (SIT)—to design a course to train heterosexual students to be allies to LGBT communities. Students participated in interviews and activities with LGBT persons, presented seminars on LGBT topics, and wrote papers about these exp…
