Of the six types of work stressors, the type patient care tasks was found to be the most stressful as reported by nurse aides, whereas the type the relationship with one s supervisor was the least stressful. Variables such as age, nationality, identity, resident care time and the number of residents a nurse took care of were significantly related to the work stressors.

Transgender and gender-expansive young people, ages 13-24 years, experience disproportionate HIV risk yet are among those with the lowest US PrEP uptake rates (< 10%). Factors influencing PrEP outcomes for this population are poorly understood. This study examines the effects of gender minority stressors, gender affirmation, and heavy substance use on their PrEP outcomes using data from the CDC's 2018 START study (N = 972).
