Experiences of discrimination in reproductive healthcare
Open AccessAlina A Luke, Anne M Gomez et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health2026
Experiences of discrimination in healthcare settings contribute to inequities in healthcare access and outcomes. Black, Latina, and Indigenous communities have lower levels of trust in reproductive healthcare due to a longstanding history of abuses. In this context, discriminatory behaviors by providers may be particularly problematic. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of a nine-item measure of lifetime experiences of discrimin…
Ethical Challenges of Obtaining Informed Consent
Open AccessHerani Sahlu Dembu, Polly J Price et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2026
The use of human genetic variation to comprehend complex diseases has also introduced several ethical, legal, and societal issues (ELSI). Despite the important contribution of Human Genome Research (HGR), full comprehension of these issues by all its stakeholders remains challenging. This research focused on exploring the understanding of research participants on the informed consent process of HGR. Nineteen Ethiopian TB patients, who participate…
Violence and PTSD screening implementation in southeastern Ryan White settings
Open AccessSophia Garbarino, Katherine M Anderson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
Violence and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are highly prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and have been linked to poor HIV care outcomes. Appropriate screening allows for linkage to support services demonstrated to improve HIV care outcomes yet remains understudied. Our objective was to understand violence and PTSD screening implementation among Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) settings in the southeastern United States. In 2024, we …

Violence experience among cis-gender women living with HIV in Atlanta, Georgia
Open AccessSophia Garbarino, Sophia C Garbarino et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025
Introduction: People living with HIV (PLWH) experience multiple forms of violence at higher rates than the general population; however, research on experiences of violence among cis-gender women living with HIV (CWLH) mainly focuses on intimate partner violence (IPV), with inconsistent documentation across the literature. To begin improving trauma-informed practices in HIV care, we examined experiences of IPV, non-partner violence (NPV), hate cri…
Demystifying Traumatic Experiences and Complex Effects in People with HIV and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Tennessee
Open AccessLeslie Brown, Almariana J Acuña et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2025
Background: Compared with the general public, people with HIV (PWH) experience more psychological trauma and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet limited research explores how PWH may uniquely experience trauma. The primary goal of this study was to investigate trauma exposure typologies and sequelae among PWH to inform trauma screening and interventions. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience samp…
Crisis prevention and response in Ryan white-funded HIV clinics
Jakarra Jenkins, Olivia C Manders et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
The high prevalence of trauma among people with HIV (PWH) and its negative impact on HIV outcomes underscore the need for Ryan White-funded HIV clinics (RWCs) to implement trauma-informed care (TIC) inclusive of crisis prevention and response. As part of a mixed-methods study of TIC practices employed by RWCs, we conducted qualitative interviews with 36 administrators, providers, and staff from Southeastern RWCs exploring crisis prevention and re…
Patient preferences for violence screening in HIV care settings
Open AccessAmeeta S Kalokhe, Katherine M Anderson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
Experiences of interpersonal- and community-level violence are common among people with HIV (PWH) and associated with poor health outcomes, underscoring a need to implement violence screening and support in HIV care. To inform this implementation, we explored preferences of PWH regarding integration of violence screening into HIV care. From February-December 2022, 64 in-depth interviews were conducted with PWH in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a lar…
Experiences of recent hate-related violence and their association with mental and physical health among people living with HIV in Atlanta, Georgia
Madelyn S Carlson, Madelyn Carlson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
BACKGROUND: People with HIV (PWH) are disproportionately affected by violence. The majority of violence research has focused on intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, gender-based violence, and sexual violence more generally. Less research has examined community violence among PWH. In this analysis, we test the association between hate crime experience and mental and HIV outcomes in a sample of adults with HIV, majority of whom are Black/Afr…
Associations between interpersonal and community-level violence experiences and HIV outcomes
Open AccessAmeeta S Kalokhe, Katherine M Anderso et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025
Violence experience, interpersonal and community-level, is commonly reported by people living with HIV (PLWH). Understanding the impact of the various forms of violence on HIV outcomes is critical for prioritizing violence screening and support resources in care settings. From February 2021 to December 2022, among 285 PLWH purposively sampled to attain diversity by gender, race/ethnicity, and HIV care retention status in Atlanta, Georgia, we exam…
A global scoping review of task shifting and sharing interventions to improve the mental health of people living with HIV/Aids

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) often experience co-morbid/co-occurring mental health conditions, e.g., depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In resource-limited settings, where provider shortages are common, task shifting and task sharing (i.e., service delivery by non-professionals) are recommended strategies to promote access to and utilization of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services among PLWH. …

Open AccessJessica M Sales, Katherine M Anderson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024
Introduction: Experiences of violence among people living with HIV (PLWH) are thought to be highly prevalent but remain inadequately captured. As a first step toward acceptable, trauma informed practices that improve engagement and retention in care for PLWH, we must acquire more comprehensive understanding of violence experiences. We examined experiences of various forms of lifetime violence: adverse childhood experiences (ACES), intimate partne…

Open AccessIrina Bergenfeld, Ilyssa Tamler et al.ARTICLESexuality & Culture2021Citada por: 5Referências: 8
Social and economic changes in Vietnam since the economic restructuring of the 1980s have caused a shift in norms about premarital sex. While expectations of female chastity remain, sex before marriage is becoming more common among young people. As the formative phase of a parent randomized controlled trial, the present study examined the normative context of sex in dating relationships from the perspectives of young women and men in Vietnam.

Outness, Discrimination, and Depressive Symptoms Among Bi + Women
Casey D Xavier Hall, Brian A Feinstein et al.ARTICLEJournal of Bisexuality2021Citada por: 4Referências: 11
Bisexual and other non-monosexual (bi+) women are at higher risk than monosexual women for mental health problems. While being in a relationship is typically associated with better health outcomes, research suggests an inverse association for bisexual women. Despite emerging evidence of differences in bisexual women's experiences based on the gender of their partner, few studies have considered partner sexual identity. To address this gap, the cu…

Genetic sensitivity to emotional cues, racial discrimination and depressive symptoms among African–American adolescent females
Open AccessJessica M Sales, Jennifer Brown et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychology2015Citada por: 3Referências: 24
Psychosocial stress, including stress resulting from racial discrimination (RD), has been associated with elevated depressive symptoms. However, individuals vary in their reactivity to stress, with some variability resulting from genetic differences. Specifically, genetic variation within the linked promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) is related to heightened reactivity to emotional environmental cues. Likewise, variation…

Sexual violence remains a global problem that disproportionately affects women. Though sexual violence interventions exist, few have been implemented in low- or middle-income countries, and none in Vietnam for young men. We adapted a sexual violence prevention intervention (RealConsent) developed for college men in the U.S. and conducted a randomized controlled trial of the adapted intervention (GlobalConsent) with college men in Vietnam. We asse…
