‘Money is what makes you to be called a man.’
Rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are higher in urban slums than in other types of human settlements. Although the mitigation of both urban slums and IPVAW fall under the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, there is a paucity of work addressing the interconnection between the two. Using survey and interview data, this study examined how the environment in a Nairobi slum catalyzes IPVAW, elucidating how the slum environment,…
Exploring the Relationship Between Stigma, Stigma Challenges, and Disclosure Among Slum-Dwelling Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence in Kenya
This article uses survey data from 131 women living in urban slums in Kenya to explore associations between stigma, stigma challenges, empowerment, and disclosure of intimate partner violence (IPV). A total of 81.7% of women reported informal or formal disclosure of IPV. A bystander offering help and experiencing stigma were associated with significant increases in the odds of informal and formal disclosure. There were also significant positive a…
Effects Of HIV stigma reduction interventions in diasporic communities
Racialized diasporic communities in Canada experience disproportionate burden of HIV infection. Their increased vulnerabilities are associated with interlocking challenges, including barriers in accessing resources, migration and settlement stress, and systemic exclusion. Further, people living with HIV (PLHIV) in these diasporic communities face stigma and discrimination in both mainstream Canadian society as well as their own ethno-racial commu…
Sexual Rights as Human Rights
It is with absolute pleasure that I introduce this technical document that provides supplementary information and materials to support our updated 2015 Declaration of Sexual Rights. This document h
Challenging HIV vulnerability discourse
A poverty-HIV narrative has dominated many HIV prevention strategies in Africa despite epidemiological data showing higher prevalence of infection among educated and wealthier women in several African countries. This paper examines the perspectives of professional and entrepreneurial women on HIV risk and vulnerability based on their knowledge and lived experiences, comparing this to the HIV discourse evident in five strategic documents that shap…
Modeling Beliefs, Attitudes, and Intentions of Condom Use Among Secondary School Students in Kenya
Sexual Networking and Partner Characteristics Among Single, African, Caribbean, and Black Youth in Windsor, Ontario
Condom Use at Most Recent Intercourse Among African, Caribbean, and Black Youth in Windsor, Ontario
Bronfenbrenner's social ecology model was used to examine macro-, micro-, individual-, situational-, and chrono-levels of influence on condom use among unmarried African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) Canadian youth. Gender-segregated bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify social-ecological levels of influence on condom use at most recent penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI) in a sample of 283 ACB youth. Among women,…
HIV-related stigma among African, Caribbean, and Black youth in Windsor, Ontario
HIV-related stigma has been shown to undermine prevention, care, treatment, and the well-being of people living with HIV. A disproportion burden of HIV infection, as well as elevated levels of HIV-related stigma, is evidenced in sub-Saharan African (SSA) and African-diasporic populations. This study explores factors that influence HIV-related stigma among 16- to 25-year-old youth residing in a Canadian city who identify as African, Caribbean, or …
Stigma as Social Control
The stigma associated with gender-based violence (GBV) exacerbates its physical and mental health impacts, as well as the chances of experiencing additional violence. We extend understanding of this stigma and its effects by demonstrating how stigma operates as a mechanism of social control at both interactional and structural levels to preserve the moral order. We also further general stigma theory by clarifying the conceptualization of power th…
Qualitative Exploration of Sexual Experiences Among Adults on the Autism Spectrum
Individuals on the autism spectrum would benefit from sex education that normalizes differences (e.g., in identities and experiences of sexuality), is offered throughout young adulthood, addresses disability-relevant sensory and communication needs, and includes practicing neurotypical sociosexual norms
Individual- and Community-Level Influences on the Timing of Sexual Debut Among Youth in Nyanza, Kenya
CONTEXT: Delaying sexual debut is an important HIV prevention strategy, yet few studies have examined associations between both community- and individual-level characteristics and sexual debut among youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey data collected from 8,183 youth aged 11-17 in 160 schools in Nyanza, Kenya, were used to examine the relationships between individual and community measures and the timing of sexual debut. M…
Investigating the Timing of First Sexual Intercourse Among Youth in EDO State, Nigeria in the Context of the Aids Epidemic
Objectives This study examined the timing of sexual debut among youth in Edo state, Nigeria given the role that sexual abstinence plays in HIV prevention in sub-Saharan Africa.Methods Survey data were collected from rural youth aged 11 to 17 years old enrolled in Junior Secondary Schools in Edo State, Nigeria.

Assessing young people's perceptions of HIV risks in Nyanza, Kenya
Ethnic Identity, Religion, and Gender
La migration des Asiatiques du Sud d'un pays à un autre devient de plus en plus commune. Ce mouvement soulève les enjeux post migratoires qui affectent la seconde génération des Asiatiques du Sud, qui doivent négocier une socialisation assez conflictuelle entre les deux générations, en s'adaptant aux valeurs, aux croyances, aux attitudes et pratiques : ceci avec tous ceux qui sont à l'extérieur du pays. Un autre défi qui s'impose à cette seconde …
Should I or Should I Not’
Being and belonging to a South Asian family in Canada does not come without struggles. One theme that has consistently dominated the literature on South Asian immigrant families is the competing cultural value systems that exist between the East (heritage country) and the West (host country). The two cultural scripts adhere to contradictory lifestyle scripts, especially with respect to social and sexual aspects of life. In an individualistic host…
Individual‐ and School‐Level Correlates of HIV Testing among Secondary School Students in Kenya
The policy framework guiding Kenya's response to the AIDS epidemic identifies voluntary counseling and testing as crucial to risk reduction and HIV‐preventive activities. Yet in Kenya, as in most sub‐Saharan countries, voluntary testing rates are low, especially among young people. Using hierarchical linear models, we identify both individual‐ and teacher/school‐level factors that affect voluntary HIV testing among secondary school students in Ke…
The power of technology
This research explores how South Asian youth in Canada use computer-mediated communication (CMC) such as social networking sites, cell phones and instant messaging in their cross-gender intimate relationships. Using 42 qualitative interviews conducted with second-generation South Asian Canadians living in the Greater Toronto Area and Durham region, this article sheds light on the motives for using CMC as well as negative consequences that can eme…
Reflexive Accounts
Reflexivity and acknowledging the role of the researcher in the research is a well-established practice in post-positivist research. In this paper we use reflexivity to examine our personal experiences in conducting qualitative research. We use reflexivity to understand how our intersecting identities and resulting insider/outsider status may have influenced the data collection phase of a study regarding the culturally and religiously sensitive i…
Superstition, witchcraft and HIV prevention in sub-Saharan Africa
Belief in superstition and witchcraft is central to many African conceptions of illness, disease causation and etiology. While a number of anthropological studies have alluded to a theoretical link between such beliefs and HIV prevention in particular, there is limited empirical assessment of the association. Using data from the 2008 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey and applying random-effects logit models, we investigate whether the belief th…
Emerging Directions in Sociological Research on Sexuality
Rising to the Challenge
In September 2010, three Canadian Criminal Code provisions related to prostitution were ruled unconstitutional because they increase the risk of harm to people working in the sex industry (PWSI). Using data from studies with PWSI and key informants conducted in several Canadian cities, we examine three domains related to worker health and safety: occupational health and safety, perceptions of and behaviors toward workers, and access to essential …
Post Migration Changes in Iranian Immigrants' Couple Relationships in Canada
Immigration presents a major life challenge, especially when the move is both geographical and across wide cultural divides. One of the areas of greatest challenge is in adjustments in gender and marital roles, perhaps because both of these are so close to the core of identity, self esteem, and sense of place in the world. This paper reports on research conducted with immigrants from Iran to Canada that examined how their experiences post-immigra…
The Trouble With Condoms
Despite knowledge of the effectiveness of condoms in preventing HIV transmission, condoms continue to be reported in only a minority of sexual encounters even with nonpermanent partners. This study used focus-group discussions with youth and interviews with community leaders from 22 communities in the Nyanza and Rift Valley provinces, Kenya, to examine the sociocultural influences on condom use among school-going youth. Three overarching themes e…
Thirty-month quasi-experimental evaluation follow-up of a national primary school HIV intervention in Kenya
School-based programmes to combat the spread of HIV have been demonstrated to be effective over the short-term (i.e. 6–24 months), but few studies have addressed the sustainability of such interventions. Primary School Action for Better Health (PSABH) is an intervention delivered in upper primary-school grades in Kenya using regular classroom subjects and co-curricular activities. This paper reports results of an evaluation to assess the sustaina…

Casual sex on spring break
Using Triandis's theory of interpersonal behavior, we analyzed factors related to casual sex among Canadian university students on a spring break vacation. Two samples were obtained: 151 students completed a questionnaire before a spring break trip to Daytona Beach, Florida and 681 completed a questionnaire during or immediately following the vacation. More men than women intended to have casual sex but similar percentages of men (15%) and women …
Casual sex among australian schoolies
This study of the casual sexual partnering of 570 male and 776 female Australian high school students on a schoolies week vacation expands on earlier research on factors that influence the sexual activity of vacationing youth. Over 60% of the men and nearly 40% of the women who engaged in sexual intercourse during schoolies week did so with a casual partner. We used logistic regression to test an expanded version of Triandis Theory of Interperson…
Predicting Intentions to Engage in Casual Sex
The objective of this study was to test the usefulness of the Triandis model of interpersonal behavior for explaining the formation of intentions to engage in casual sex (i.e. the likelihood that the respondent would, when they were out to have a good time, have sex with someone he or she had just met). Data were collected from 305 university students (243 female, 62 male). The Triandis model explained 44 percent of the variance in casual sex int…
Social Construction of HIV Transmission and Prevention among Heterosexual Young Adults
The social construction of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) transmission and prevention is explored using data obtained from 25 in-depth interviews conducted with French- and English-speaking college students, aged 17-22 years old, in Montreal. The content of common sense knowledge, its relationship to scientifically based safer-sex guidelines, and the strategies used by young adults to construct their reality of Human Immuno-deficiency…

Assumptions and Values of Community Health Psychology
There is a need to widen the practice of health psychologists to include the theories and methods of community psychology and an awareness of contemporary issues in community health. The aim of such a community health psychology would be both to deepen our understanding of the aetiology of health and illness in society and to develop strategies that will contribute to a reduction in human suffering and an improvement in quality of life. The aim o…

Efforts to build capacity within the health research community to engage collaboratively with communities in action research projects must be predicated…
Sexual scripts and Aids prevention
The central problem addressed in this paper is whether and how unmarried late adolescents are incorporating Safer‐Sex Guidelines into their sexual practices. A two‐stage stratified sample of 1,000 French and English students attending seven Montreal colleges was surveyed in the fall of 1988. LISREL analysis was used to test an expanded version of Beck's Health Belief Model predicting compliance with Safer‐Sex Guidelines. Findings indicate that hi…

Licensing Sex Work
The population health promotion model directs our attention to the impact of public policy, and the interface between various levels of policy, on health and well-being. This model is applied in a case study of the effect of municipal licensing of the escort industry on the health and well-being of escorts in Windsor, Ontario. Attention to municipal licensing and policing practices applied to the escort industry reveals that although the potentia…

The Gift of Agency
This article examines the practice of directly exchanging goods for sexual intercourse using data from 36 focus-group discussions with youth living in rural southern Nigeria. Conceptualizing this practice as a sexual script, the authors conduct a deductive thematic analysis framed by the broader context in which sexual exchange occurs. Combining scripting theory with an analysis of the form of the payment, it was found that the cultural script of…

Adherence practices among people living with HIV
This paper offers a critique of patient-deficit models of adherence by examining the articulation of dosing schedules and food prohibitions with the structure of everyday lives. Interviews with 31 men and 4 women taking HAART show that doses associated with regular daily life events are most consistently taken, but many individuals rework official dosing guidelines around timing and food consumption. Barriers to adherence often arise from conflic…
