- The study addresses the lack of research on barriers faced by gay and bisexual male sexual assault survivors, particularly focusing on gay Latino and Black men and the impacts of racism and homophobia.
- It involved interviews with 14 gay Latino sexual assault survivors and identified three main themes: Bias and Discrimination, the Unjust Reporting Process, and Retraumatization.
- Recommendations were provided to improve the reporting process, emphasizing the need for tailored law enforcement training and trauma-informed practices that center around the needs of survivors.
The aims of this study were to determine if HIV symptoms among sexual minority men formed clusters and to examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics that are associated with these clusters. We analyzed cross-sectional data from Ghanaian sexual minority men (N = 225) living with HIV. We used both principal component analysis and multivariable linear regression.

This study aimed to examine whether these factors mediate the relationship between adversities and psychopathology in Latinx youth.
Method: Latinx youth (n = 2,411) data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study were used to examine path models with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as the predictor and either youth- or caregiver-rated internalizing/externalizing scores over 4 timepoints as the outcome (ages 9-13 years).
Timely HIV diagnosis and medical engagement are crucial for effective viral load suppression and treatment as prevention. However, significant delays persist, particularly in Africa, including Ghana. This study focused on Ghanaian men whose route of exposure to HIV was through same-gender sexual contact (MSM), a group disproportionately impacted by HIV.

- Campbell and colleagues have developed a strategic model aimed at reducing Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct (RVSM) at Michigan State University, focusing on marginalized populations.
- Their approach is innovative as it specifically targets LGBTQIA+ students of color and incorporates intersectional and trauma-informed principles.
- The commentary emphasizes the importance of this model and suggests improvements for programming and support services to meet the diverse needs of LGBTQIA+ survivors of color.
Black, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT), individuals experience higher rates of violent victimization compared to their cisgender heterosexual counterparts over their life course. Among Black LGBT people, witnessing and experiencing violence have been related to poor health outcomes, including depression, risky sexual behavior, substance use, and lower engagement in healthcare services. We engaged in research to better understand the effects of violence experienced by the Black LGBT youth community.

While relationships between discrimination and the internalization of those messages have been previously researched, less is known about experiencing discrimination attributed to different identities and its relationships with discrete attributions of internalized stigma. Understanding how different attributes of identity-based discrimination are related to different attributes of identity-based internalization of stigma among gay and bisexual men of color may be important in the design of interventions to help Latino GBM cope with discrimination and prevent negative mental health outcomes.

Despite the acceptability and increasing number of digital health interventions focused on improving health outcomes among SGM people, there is a lack of reviews summarizing whether and how researchers assess engagement with social media-delivered health interventions for this group.
Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize and critique the evidence on evaluation of engagement with social media-delivered interventions for improving health outcomes among SGM persons.
