Acceptability, Feasibility, and Implementation Outcomes of a Family-Based Intervention for Black Men and Girls
Open AccessNatasha Crooks, Crystal Patil et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2026
Family-based interventions may reduce the risk of acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among Black girls in the United States, but few have engaged Black male caregivers. We examined key implementation outcomes of IMAGE, IMARA for Black Male Caregivers, and Girls Empowerment, an adapted evidence-based intervention for Black girls (13–18 years old) and their male caregivers. We conducted a pilot test of IMAGE with 40 girl…
Provider Perspectives on Group PrEP Care for Sex Workers
Open AccessRandi B Singer, Jessica Zemlak et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2026Referências: 63
Reducing new HIV infections is crucial. Sex workers continue to face disparities in both HIV infection rates and inadequate prevention care. Stigma, criminalization, and financial instability hinder access to vital HIV prevention methods, including Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). Evidence-based, community-centered PrEP care may help address these issues. An evidence-based group PrEP care model, Centering PrEP (C-PrEP +), could empower communitie…
Application of Adapt-ITT
Open AccessNatasha Crooks, Alyssa Debra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023
Adapting evidence-based interventions to incorporate Black girls and their Black male caregivers should be driven by a relevant theoretical framework that aligns with the target population(s). Adapting the intervention in partnership with the community has been shown to improve acceptability and feasibility as it is responsive to community needs. Using a systematic process like the ADAPT-ITT model will ensure that the new program is ready for eff…
Addressing the Know-Do Gap in Adolescent HIV
Open AccessKristin Beima‐Sofie, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Implementation science (IS) uses systematic methods to close gaps between research and practice by identifying and addressing barriers to implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs). To reach UNAIDS HIV targets, IS can support programs to reach vulnerable populations and achieve sustainability. We studied the application of IS methods in 36 study protocols that were part of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Scie…
Community Engagement in Implementation Science

Community engagement can improve the implementation of evidence-based interventions across diverse settings, improving intervention effectiveness in underserved communities and furthering health equity
The Use of Navigators to Increase Patient Portal Enrollment among Patients in a Federally Qualified Health Care System
Alicia K Matthews, Alana Steffen et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2023
Study results suggest that using patient navigators is feasible and beneficial for increasing patient enrollment in the Federally Qualified Health Centers context. However, patient-, clinic-, and system-level factors were identified as barriers and should be addressed in future research studies
MiQuit
Alicia K Matthews, Alana Steffen et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2023
This study will provide a new cost-effective and efficient model to link low-income smokers to state tobacco quitlines. Message delivery via patient health portals has important implications for addressing other tobacco-related morbidities

The Role of the Strong Black Woman in Black Female Sexual Development
Open AccessNatasha Crooks, W G Schulze et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2023Citada por: 3Referências: 60
Black girls and women are disproportionately impacted by sexual health disparities, including an increased risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Early sexual development among Black females heightens their risk of HIV/STI. Utilizing the Becoming a Sexual Black Woman (SBW) framework, this study sought to understand how early sexual development and stereotype messages may underpin HIV/STI risk, building on and furthering the discus…
Integrating Adolescent Mental Health into HIV Prevention and Treatment Programs
Open AccessJudith Boshe, Veronica Brtek et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
Adolescent mental health (AMH) is a critical driver of HIV outcomes, but is often overlooked in HIV research and programming. The implementation science Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework informed development of a questionnaire that was sent to a global alliance of adolescent HIV researchers, providers, and implementors working in sub-Saharan Africa with the aim to (1) describe current AMH outcomes incorporated…
Ethics of research at the intersection of Covid-19 and black lives matter
Open AccessNatasha Crooks, Geri R Donenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021
This paper describes how to ethically conduct research with Black populations at the intersection of COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement. We highlight the issues of historical mistrust in the USA and how this may impact Black populations’ participation in COVID-19 vaccination trials. We provide recommendations for researchers to ethically engage Black populations in research considering the current context. Our recommendations include un…

The moderating role of parental psychopathology on response to a family-based HIV prevention intervention among youth in psychiatric treatment
Wendy Hadley, David H Barker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Studies2015Referências: 1
Previous research suggests parents with mental health concerns are more likely to engage in maladaptive parenting practices and are less likely to benefit from parenting interventions. The current study examined the moderating influence of parent mental health problems on response to a family HIV prevention program delivered to youth in mental health treatment and their caregivers. The family intervention targeted parent-adolescent communication …
Exploring risk and protective mechanisms associated with HIV infection among adolescents in South Africa
Pamela Naidoo, Geri R Donenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2014
This study explored South African adolescents’ perceived risk and protection for HIV infection. Adolescents (N=28) with a mean age of 14.6 years receiving mental health care participated in Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to engage in an in-depth exploration of their perceived risk and protective mechanisms for HIV prevention. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Themes that emerged from the FGDs associated with risk for HIV inf…

Psychosocial health problems increase risk for HIV among urban young men who have sex with men
Brian Mustanski, Reebee Garofalo et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2007
BACKGROUND: Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) experience disparities in HIV rates and potentially in mental health, substance abuse, and exposure to violence. PURPOSE: We assessed the extent to which these psychosocial health problems had an additive effect on increasing HIV risk among YMSM. METHODS: An urban sample of 310 ethnically diverse YMSM reported on psychosocial health problems, sexual risk behaviors, and HIV status. A count of psyc…
