    Open AccessCody Goessl, Cody L Goessl et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Rural vs. urban differences in provider practices were mixed in that rural providers do not implement some practices that may promote HPV vaccination, but do implement other practices that promote HPV vaccination.

  • The Effects of Prostate Cancer Treatment on Role-In-Sex in Gay and Bisexual Men

    Alexander K Tatum, B R Simon Rosser et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2022Citada por: 1Referências: 3

Emerging evidence suggests that GBM may change their role-in-sex in response to treatment effects. The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of prostate cancer treatment on role-in-sex, to estimate the prevalence of such changes, and to determine the impact on quality of life and …

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of prostate cancer and its treatments on RAI among GBM. Data were from a cross-sectional online survey of 100 GBM prostate cancer survivors who reported pleasurable RA…

  • The Influence of Companion Animals on Quality of Life of Gay and Bisexual Men Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer

    Open AccessMorgan Wright, Morgan M Wright et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    There has been almost no research on associations of companion animals with quality of life in sexual minorities. Because gay and bisexual men have less social support than their heterosexual peers, some have argued that pet companionship could provide emotional support, while others have argued the opposite, that having a pet is another stressor. This analysis examines the association between having dogs, cats, both animals, or no animals and qu…
