Assessing the relationship between present bias and diabetes self-care behavior
An understanding of the psychological factors that influence diabetes self-care is a necessary complement to biomedical and technological treatment advances. However, there are few accessible self-report measures for one important factor: present bias. Present biased individuals focus more on immediate rewards than long-term consequences, which can be especially costly for people with diabetes (PwD). The present study modified existing measures t…

Characteristics of bisexually active men in the Seropositive Urban Mens’ Study (Sums)
Characteristics of bisexually-active men were compared with those of their homosexually-active counterparts in a study of HIV-seropositive men who have sex with men (MSM). Men who had had sex with women in the prior year were younger and more likely to be African American than those reporting sex only with men. They reported higher levels of internalised homophobia and less participation in the gay community. They tended to be recruited through f…
Theory of planned behaviour predictors of intention to use condoms among Xhosa adolescents in South Africa
HIV/AIDS is taking a heavy toll on South African youth. Reducing their risk for HIV requires an understanding of the determinants of their HIV risk behaviours that are amendable to intervention-induced change. This study draws upon the theory of planned behaviour to identify the modifiable determinants of the intention to use condoms among Xhosa-speaking South African adolescents. The participants were 390 Xhosa-speaking 6th grade students (mean …
A low-cost, sustainable intervention for drinking reduction in the HIV primary care setting
Excess drinking poses multiple substantial health risks to HIV-infected individuals. However, no published intervention studies have focused on drinking reduction as the main outcome in HIV primary care patients. An intervention in this setting must place minimal demands on pressured staff and resources. This pilot study tested such an intervention, which consisted of brief Motivational Interviewing (MI) and HealthCall, an automated daily telepho…
Childhood sexual abuse and sexual transmission risk behaviour among HIV-positive men who have sex with men
Previous studies have indicated an association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and adult sexual risk behaviour among women and among men who have sex with men (MSM). However, no studies to date have tested the hypothesis that a history of CSA predicts sexual behaviour carrying risk of transmission of HIV to others, i.e. in a known HIV-positive cohort. The present study tested this hypothesis among a sample of 456 HIV-positive MSM recruited f…
Use of folk healing practices by HIV-infected Hispanics living in the United States
In the absence of a medical cure for AIDS, HIV-infected individuals may seek alternative treatments that are consistent with cultural and social beliefs. This paper examines beliefs about, and use of, folk healing practices by HIV-infected Hispanics receiving care at an HIV/AIDS clinic in inner-city New Jersey. Anonymous individual interviews were conducted with 58 male and 18 female HIV-infected Hispanics aged 23-55, primarily of Puerto Rican or…
Perceived self-efficacy and pain control
In this experiment, we tested for opioid and nonopioid mechanisms of pain control through cognitive means and the relation of opioid involvement to perceived coping efficacy. Subjects were taught cognitive methods of pain control, were administered a placebo, or received no intervention. Their pain tolerance was then measured at periodic intervals after they were administered either a saline solution or naloxone, an opiate antagonist that blocks …
