Mediating Pathways in Faith-Based Sexual Risk-Reduction for African American Adolescents
Assessing Mediation and Moderation of an Efficacious Physical Activity Intervention for African American Men Living with HIV
Do syndemic conditions predict HIV medication adherence among urban African American men
Much progress has been made in advancing antiretroviral (ART) adherence, yet disparities remain. To explore relationships of syndemic conditions - co-occurring health conditions caused by combinations of biological, social, and structural factors - to ART adherence among African American men, we used data from longitudinal assessments of 302 African American men enrolled in a study designed to increase physical activity and healthy eating. Syndem…

Physical Activity Intervention Effects on Waist-to-Hip Ratio in African American Men Living With HIV
People living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy have an increased risk of developing metabolic disturbances and central adiposity. Adequate engagement in physical activity (PA) could reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with central adiposity. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial of a PA intervention with 302 African American men aged 40 or older (53.9±7.2 years) living with HIV to assess whether…
Reasoned Action Approach Correlates of Fruit and Vegetable Diet Among African American Men Living With HIV
Epidemiological evidence of the protective role of fruits and vegetables for a host of chronic health conditions is well-documented. However, there is a dearth of studies examining predictors of fruit and vegetable intake among African American men living with HIV. We report secondary analyses—multiple regression and logistic regression models fitted to examine the strength of the relationships between the reasoned action approach constructs; nam…

The Effects of Three Types of Sexual Orientation Victimization on HIV Sexual Risk Behavior Among Black South African Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)
The goal of this study is to examine the relations between histories of three types of sexual orientation victimization (childhood, personal, and institutional) and HIV sexual risk behavior among Black South African men who have sex with men (MSM). Secondarily, this study examines whether marijuana use and problem drinking mediate the relations. Participants were 125 Black MSM recruited from neighborhoods in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Q…

Nonresidential fathers with children in foster care
This study used the data from 64 nonresidential fathers who had their children placed in foster care to describe their characteristics. The survey included questions about demographic background and personal challenges, the father's involvement with his child in foster care, the father's relationship with the mother, barriers to the father's involvement, and the relationship with child welfare agencies and workers. The average age of the particip…

On the Efficacy and Mediation of a One-on-One HIV Risk-Reduction Intervention for African American Men Who Have Sex with Men
We examined the efficacy and mediation of Being Responsible for Ourselves (BRO), an HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention for African American men who have sex with men (MSM), the population with the highest HIV-diagnosis rate in the US. We randomized African American MSM to one of two interventions: BRO HIV/STI risk-reduction, targeting condom use; or attention-matched control, targeting physical activity and healthy diet. The interventions were b…
Father's involvement in the lives of children in foster care
Limited understandings exist about non‐resident fathers' views of their involvement with their children in foster care placements. Guided by the ecological systems framework, the purpose of this exploratory study was to gain insights into fathers' perceptions of their involvement with a child in foster care. Data were collected from demographic questionnaires and two focus groups with 17 men. Fathers expressed how kinship compared with non‐kinshi…
Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial of an HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk-Reduction Intervention for South African Men
Objectives. We tested the efficacy of a sexual risk-reduction intervention for men in South Africa, where heterosexual exposure is the main mode of HIV transmission. Methods. Matched-pairs of neighborhoods in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, were randomly selected and within pairs randomized to 1 of 2 interventions based on social cognitive theory and qualitative research: HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk-reduction, targeting con…
"Reaching African-American Men on the "Down Low
Studies on the impact of the HIV epidemic among African-American men who have sex with men (MSM) have largely neglected men who self-identify as heterosexual but engage in same-sex behavior. These men, commonly referred to as men on the down low, pose formidable challenges to researchers conducting prevention studies. This article addresses the methodological issues that create limitations in sampling this population. It presents a novel approach…
Ethnic Identity among Monoracial and Multiracial Early Adolescents
A measure of ethnic identity, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), was examined in this study with a sample of 2,184 early adolescents who self-identified with a single race or ethnicity (monoracial, n = 1,812) or with two or more racial or ethnic groups (multiracial, n = 372). Principal components and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore and confirm the factor structure of the MEIM items. Two factors were identi…
Racial Minority Status and Distress Among Children and Adolescents
This study examines the relationship between racial background and two measures of distress among 10 to 17 year-old youth. The authors test whether minority racial status has an independent effect when socioeconomic status, social support patterns, gender and age are controlled. The data for the study are drawn from the National Commission on Children: 1990 Survey of Parents and Children which provides a nationally representative sample of 918 bl…
Assessing the Psychosocial Well-Being of African American Gays
This paper presents a model for assessing personal, cultural, and social factors influencing the psychosocial well-being of black gay men. Differences are discussed by focusing on three groups-adolescent, adult and older gay African American men. Each of these groups is considered in connection with the developmental tasks of play, work and love. These tasks are explored as a function of age cohort, gender appearances, socioeconomic status, churc…
A Korean Gay Man in the United States
An increasing number of Koreans are immigrating to the U.S. Little information exists for human service professionals to draw from to help Korean gay men adjust to living in America. This discussion provides a historical overview of homosexuality in Korea with insights into contemporary Korean culture. An interview with a young Korean gay man living in the U.S. illustrates the concerns and problems these men experience as they struggle to adapt t…

An Applied Research Agenda for Homosexually Active Men of Color
This paper outlines a research agenda for designing and implementing services to gay men of color. The paper reviews the anthropological, historical, and international literature on homosexuality for its implications for contemporary service delivery. The paper proposes that a problem-solving model that recognizes the central importance of empathy and rapport may be used to organize research. The paper concludes with a discussion of methodologica…

Black Gay Men and Conflicting Social Identities
The negative influences of the black community and the gay community as social identity elements of black gays' self-concept are heuristically explored. The discussion points out how racism in the gay community, and the anti-homosexual attitudes of the black community may result in black gays developint inadequate coping techniques and poor self-concepts exhibiting sex role and racial stereotypes.
