A scoping review examining measurement of anti-transgender stigma in low- and middle-income countries
Globally, transgender and other gender diverse (trans) people experience widespread prejudice, discrimination, violence, and other forms of stigma, which contribute to negative health outcomes. Most anti-trans stigma research has been conducted in high-income countries. Measurement of anti-trans stigma in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is important for understanding and improving the health of trans populations globally. Accordingly, th…
Exploring the Social Exchange of Manhood and Masculine Norms Among Black Heterosexual College Men
Traditional masculine norms state men are tough, protective, and sexually assertive. Young Black men must weigh the rewards and costs of adhering to or deviating from these norms within the college environment, as their choices can be detrimental to their health. Using the ecological-exchange framework, we examined adherence to or deviation from traditional masculine norms from focus groups with 13 Black heterosexual men at two Historically Black…

Objectives: The purpose of this analysis is to (1) descr…

Participants described individual-, interpersonal-, and cli…
Synthetic Cannabinoid Use and Descriptive Norms among Collegiate Student-Athletes
Synthetic cannabinoids have gained popularity over the past decade, especially among young adults, due to sharing similar psychoactive properties with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A limited number of studies have examined synthetic cannabinoid use among college students but none have examined use exclusively by collegiate student-athletes. The objective of this study was to examine synthetic cannabinoid use among collegiate student-athletes. In th…

Trends in condom use among female sex workers in Andhra Pradesh, India
BACKGROUND: Community mobilisation interventions for HIV prevention among female sex workers (FSWs) aim to organise FSWs for collective action and challenge the structures of power that underlie HIV risk. Assessing intervention impact is challenging because the importance of direct individual exposure to intervention components may decrease over time as change occurs at social-normative, policy and other structural levels. In this paper, the auth…
