  • High Motivation but Low Access to PrEP

    Open AccessChristian Grov, Alexa B D’angelo et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Methamphetamine (meth) use is endemic among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations and a well-established correlate of HIV acquisition. Less understood are the behavioral, psychosocial, and structural vulnerabilities associated with meth use that may complicate HIV prevention. We examined differences in HIV-related vulnerabilities, perceptions of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) need, and access to PrEP care among SGM people who use meth com…

  • Psychometric Evaluation of a Revised Instrument for Assessing HIV Knowledge Among SGM Men

    Ching-Yu Wang, Jianfang Liu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Education2026

    Accurate assessment of general HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) knowledge is essential for evaluating contemporary prevention efforts. This study examined the psychometric properties of a revised HIV and PrEP knowledge instrument for young sexual and gender minority (SGM) men. Data were collected from 1,519 participants (ages 17–29) via an online survey. Of the original 31 items, 7 were removed based on item analysis, and Exploratory Facto…

  • The 2025 Intersectional Trauma Pandemic

    Open AccessDustin T DuncanARTICLEHealth Equity2026

    The 2025 Intersectional Trauma Pandemic is a term that I have used to describe the current era. This trauma pandemic is the convergence of compounded systemic inequities and crises. This includes increasing political polarization and widening health inequities that disproportionately impact structurally marginalized communities and impair health and workforce equity worldwide. My research advances trauma-informed, community-engaged research using…

  • Hookups, hashtags, and health

    Open AccessCho Hee Shrader, Su Hyun Park et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2026

    Social media use is ubiquitous, permeating nearly all populations globally, including men who have sex with men (MSM), despite there being mixed impacts to its use. To fill this gap, we sought to typologize social media usage, mental health, and sleep health among MSM in Paris, France, a city with a large LGBTQIA+ community and high social media usage. Participants were recruited using broadcast advertisements on a popular geosocial networking ap…

  • Awareness and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis in a United States national sample of young sexual and gender minority men

    Sophia McInerney, Patrick Veihman et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Young sexual and gender minority (SGM) men remain disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Although pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective in preventing HIV acquisition, uptake among SGM men in the United States (US) remains suboptimal. To better understand disparities in PrEP awareness, use, and adherence, we examined baseline survey data from the Limited Interaction Targeted Epidemiology (LITE-2) cohort, which included 3,14…

  • Participation in the house-ball community as a social determinant of HIV care and prevention outcomes among transgender women of color

    Open AccessAlexander Furuya, Cho Hee Shrader et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    House-ball scenes around the world have historically been a community for queer people to form chosen families and social networks and be exposed to community health campaigns. We investigated the impact of house-ball participation on HIV care and prevention outcomes among transgender women of color (TWOC) living in New York City. We asked 178 participants who identified as TWOC about their participation in the house-ball scene (never, former, cu…

  • The Dual Burden of Weight in YMSM

    Open AccessChing‐Yu Wang, Dustin T Duncan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026

    BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) navigate a unique intersection of health risks characterized by structural drivers of obesity and intense sociocultural pressures for thinness. While Body Mass Index (BMI) differences are documented in the general population, less is known about how these patterns manifest within the specific appearance-potent subcultures of YMSM. This study describes BMI profiles across racial/ethnic …

  • An Evaluation of Social Media and Geospatial Dating Apps for Recruitment of a National Sample of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Lite-2 Study

    Open AccessIsabella Bonnewit, Rebecca Schnall et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    In 2022, over two thirds of individuals diagnosed with HIV in the United States were people of color, half resided in the south, and 67% of new cases were attributed to male-to male sexual transmission (Centers For Disease Control, 2024). To combat these health disparities, the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative recommends that HIV prevention research focus on targeted populations and geographic regions with high rates of new HIV diagnosis.…

  • Daily anxiety and depressive symptoms are associated with greater same-day cannabis-alcohol co-use than single-substance use among Black sexual and gender minority people

    Open AccessY T Chen, Yen-Tyng Chen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2026

    Cannabis and alcohol co-use occurred on 20 % of days among Black SGM. • Mild to moderate anxiety/depression increased the likelihood of co-use. • Greater mental health symptoms were linked to more co-use than single-substance use. Rapidly changing cannabis legalization has contributed to increased cannabis use and co-use of cannabis and alcohol, including among sexual and gender minority people (SGM). Black SGM endure long-standing disparities in…

  • Health equity and medical mistrust

    Open AccessAlexander Furuya, Jenesis Merriman et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2026

    Medical mistrust as a construct often places the onus of blame for adverse health outcomes on individuals rather than on social structures. In this study, we aimed to determine if medical mistreatment and access to transgender care were potential determinants of medical mistrust. We used longitudinal survey data from 193 transgender women of colour living in New York City. We measured medical mistrust using the Group-Based Medical Mistrust (GBMM)…

  • Associations Between Discrimination and Substance Use Among Transgender Women of Color in New York City

    Open AccessJenesis Merriman, Su Hyun Park et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2025

    Introduction: Transgender women of color (TWOC) face elevated rates of substance use, driven in part by intersecting systems of discrimination and structural inequities. Previous research has highlighted the connection between discrimination and substance use, but few studies have explored this relationship among TWOC. This study examines cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between perceived discrimination and substance use among TWOC i…

  • Composing authorship teams for health equity

    Open AccessDustin T DuncanARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2025

    Privilege-special advantages, opportunities or honors granted only to specific persons or groups, such as cisgender men-is one of the primary causes of structural inequality and health inequality. More specifically, privilege feeds structural inequities that result in adverse health outcomes disproportionately impacting minoritized and marginalized communities. As structural inequality increases globally, there will undoubtedly be an increase in …

  • Hair Dye and Relaxer Use among Cisgender Women in Embu and Nakuru Counties, Kenya

    Open AccessAdana A M Llanos, Adiba Ashrafi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Despite widespread use of hair products globally, little is known about the prevalence and patterns of use in populations outside the United States. As some hair products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and EDCs have been linked to breast cancer, which is increasing globally, in this study, we addressed key knowledge gaps about hair product use and practices, and perceptions of use among women in two counties in Kenya. Using communi…

  • Adverse childhood experiences among black sexually minoritized men and Black transgender women in Chicago

    Open AccessChristoffer Dharma, Katherine M Keyes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2024

    The BRFFS ACE measure had adequate reliability, a well-replicated structure and some moderate evidence of concurrent validity among Black SMM and TW. The parental separation domain does not discriminate between those with high and low ACE experiences in this population. With changing population demographics and trends in marriage, further examination of this item beyond the current study is warranted to improve health equity research for all

  • The burden of Cardiovascular diseases in Jordan

    Open AccessYazan A Al-Ajlouni, Omar Al Ta’ani et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Despite decreasing burden rate of CVDs in Jordan between 1990 and 2019, CVDs remain the leading cause of mortality in Jordan, with an increase in the total number of prevalence and mortality. Overall, this contributes to increased healthcare costs. Further research is required to quantify the burden of CVDs and understand it better. Intervention measures and policies tailored to specific CVDs should be designed to reduce the burden of CVDs in Jor…
