Summary
This study examines HIV prevention and care for transgender youth of color. Findings will inform interventions to reduce HIV disparities and improve engagement in care for this vulnerable population.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Infectious Diseases
- Health Disparities
Background:
- Growing research acknowledges diverse gender and sexual identities in youth.
- Understanding intersectional impacts on HIV risk and healthcare engagement is crucial.
- Limited data exists on HIV prevention accessibility for nonbinary and transmasculine youth.
Purpose of the Study:
- Conduct longitudinal research with transgender minority youth (TGMY).
- Explore factors influencing HIV prevention and transmission.
- Reduce HIV/AIDS disparities through improved engagement in care.
Main Methods:
- Longitudinal study of 108 transgender youth of color in Los Angeles.
- Community-informed recruitment via social media, venues, and referrals.
- Data collection included surveys, drug use, STI, and HIV testing.
Main Results:
- Participant recruitment occurred from May to December 2018.
- Baseline and longitudinal data analysis is ongoing as of August 2022.
Conclusions:
- Findings will adapt existing HIV prevention interventions.
- New interventions will be developed to engage TGMY in HIV care.
- Focus on Black, Indigenous, and people of color within the TGMY population is critical.

12.1K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
2.1K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
