Exploring the Indigenous and Western determinants of health and PrEP continuum of care among Native Americans across Indian Country (United States of America)
Developing a conceptual framework for post-incarceration care for sexual and gender minoritized adults
Mass incarceration in the United States is a social-structural driver of health for sexual and gender minoritized adults (SGMA). The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual framework for post-release healthcare to use in adapting a mobile health unit (MHU) for SGMA returning from jail. We used concept mapping to answer a focal prompt regarding health-related needs for SGMA post-release. We recruited SGMA with recent incarceration experience…
Factors Influencing Contraceptive Use Among Women With Serious Mental Illness Residing in Pennsylvania
INTRODUCTION: Women living with a serious mental illness (SMI) can experience a myriad of challenges throughout their reproductive years including suboptimal contraceptive use and unintended pregnancy. Little is known about the contextual factors that influence the contraceptive use of women with SMI. To address this gap, we conducted qualitative interviews with women with SMI residing in Pennsylvania, to understand their pregnancy intentions, cu…
Workforce outcomes among substance use peer supports
Introduction: Peer recovery support services (PRSS), an expanding component in SUD treatment, are delivered by individuals with lived experience of substance use disorder (SUD). Despite the growing importance of these peers and the unique challenges they face in a developing health profession, limited research has focused on their workforce outcomes. This review aims to map the literature on (a) workforce outcomes among peers and (b) the individu…
Using concept mapping methods to evaluate overdose data to action program efforts in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
The Pitt Public Health evaluation team used a mixed-methods, community-based participatory research method of concept mapping to evaluate factors affecting the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) opioid overdose surveillance and prevention project outcomes for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In June 2021 we developed the focal prompt: “What factors work to help or limit OD2A program outcomes at the individual, community, and or/system level?”Community…

Community-engaged Processes for Restarting Federally Funded Research in a Community-based Organization during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
The challenges presented by COVID-19 in the research sector have provided an opportunity to reevaluate study activities and increase the extent to which research is conducted in a community-centered manner
Developing Suicide Safety Protocols for Qualitative Research as a Universal Equity Practice
Qualitative research offers a range of approaches to elucidate the health and social experiences of populations and communities that are historically oppressed and repressed, yet is not without ethical and practical challenges that may have unintended consequences and added risks for certain individuals and communities. As a result of experiences of trauma and environmental factors, many oppressed and repressed populations have disproportionately…
The Socioecological Model as a framework for exploring factors influencing childhood immunization uptake in Lagos state, Nigeria
The reciprocity of the findings across the Socioecological Model levels emphasizes the importance of developing multi-pronged interventions that operate at multiple levels of the SEM. Our results can inform the design of culturally appropriate and effective interventions to address Nigeria's suboptimal immunization coverage
Exploring Definitions of Consent and Healthy Relationships Among College Students with Disabilities
Expectations and beliefs
We developed measures of relational beliefs and expectations among single young gay and bisexual men (YGBM). Data come from an online cross-sectional study YGBM, which ran from July 2012 until January 2013. There were 50 items on relational beliefs and 25 items on relational expectations. We used random split samples and a priori analysis to group items together and applied principal axis factoring with varimax orthogonal rotation. We had a total…

Lifetime Prevalence and Sociodemographic Correlates of Multifactorial Discrimination Among Middle-Aged and Older Adult Men Who Have Sex with Men
This study describes multifactorial discrimination (discrimination attributed to multiple social identities) among middle-aged and older adult MSM. MSM aged 40+ years (N = 1,193) enrolled in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study completed behavioral surveys ascertaining experiences of discrimination and their social identity attributions. Non-proportional odds regressions assessed multifactorial discrimination by age, race/ethnicity, HIV status, and …
Understanding the impact of a syndemic on the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis in a community-based sample of behaviorally PrEP-eligible BMSM in the United States
HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has shown great promise in reducing HIV transmission among affected populations; however, PrEP uptake among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) has stalled. This study compares BMSM using PrEP and BMSM at risk for HIV not using PrEP based on differences in behavior, psychosocial conditions and the presence of a syndemic (n = 1,411). BMSM reporting PrEP use were significantly more likely to report three of fi…
Protocol of a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of client-centered Representative Payee Services on antiretroviral therapy adherence among marginalized people living with HIV
The aim of this study is to determine if CCRP improves health outcomes for vulnerable PLWH. Study outcomes may provide information about supports needed to help economically fragile PLWH improve health outcomes and ultimately improve HIV health disparities. In addition, findings may help to refine service delivery including the provision of representative payee to this often-marginalized population. This protocol was prospectively registered on M…

Intersection of Intimate Partner Violence and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
This article examines the prevalence of recent and lifetime intimate partner violence (IPV) and association with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) acceptability among women seeking care at an urban family planning clinic ( N = 145). We found high prevalence of recent (40%) and lifetime IPV (71%). Almost a third of participants reported being worried about HIV risk, 70% were willing to take PrEP, and 71% of women who disclosed recent IPV were willin…
Because the clients told us so
Purpose Eliciting client narratives and creating community-informed interventions have been effective methods of engaging those who are unstably housed in care. Previous studies have shown that these approaches foster client empowerment and provide insight as to the importance of creating community-driven solutions. However, few studies report the impact of these methods on homeless people living with HIV. The purpose of this paper is to describe…
The Girlfriends Project
Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard in research but may not fully explain or predict outcome variations in community-based interventions. Demonstrating efficacy of externally driven programs in well-controlled environments may not translate to community-based implementation where resources and priorities vary. A bottom-up evaluation approach, in which community-developed interventions are evaluated for efficacy and then disseminate…
The effects of a harm reduction housing program on the viral loads of homeless individuals living with HIV/Aids
Although the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapies has increased survival rates for many individuals living with HIV/AIDS, chronically homeless individuals with the disease continue to experience poor clinical outcomes and high mortality rates in comparison to the general population living with HIV. Housing as a structural intervention for homeless people living with HIV/AIDS has been shown both to be feasible and to improve access to …
Mechanisms of Adherence in a Harm Reduction Housing Program
Advances in clinical therapies for people living with HIV have greatly increased life expectancies, but the high levels of adherence that are necessary for clinical success are infrequently achieved, especially for chronically homeless substance users. The Open Door is a harm reduction housing program that seeks to improve clinical outcomes for this population. We present findings from qualitative interviews with residents of the program, conduct…

The impact of representative payee services on medication adherence among unstably housed people living with HIV/Aids
Rates of viral suppression among people living with HIV/AIDS remain low, especially within marginalized populations such as people who are unstably housed. Representative payee is a service in which the US Social Security Administration appoints an individual or an organization to provide financial management for vulnerable individuals who are unable to manage their finances including housing payments. Little or no published research examines the…

HIV Treatment Cascade by Housing Status at Enrollment
Effects of naloxone distribution to likely bystanders
Community-based naloxone distribution to reverse opioid overdose may significantly reduce deaths. Optimal distribution methods may include secondary distribution so that the person who picks up naloxone kits can enable others in the community to administer naloxone, as well as targeting naloxone distribution to sites where individuals at high-risk for opioid overdose death are likely to visit, such as syringe-exchange programs. This study design,…
