Aim: Emotional dysregulation (ED) - the difficulty to control emotional responses to stressors - is a potential driver of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among young men in HIV endemic resource-limited settings. This two-armed pilot cluster randomised controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus (SSCF+), a participatory gender transformative and livelihood strengthening intervention, on the emotional dysregulation (ED) among young men in South Africa (SA).
Methods: A total of 163 young men ages 18 to 30 years were recruited in 30 clusters (friendship groups) in urban informal settlements and rural areas in KwaZulu-Natal, SA.
Individual & joint associations of sexual stigma and mental distress with PrEP uptake, adherence and persistence among US gay and bisexual men.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how sexual stigma, mental health issues, and economic disparities affect the use and consistency of PrEP among gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM), aiming to understand these complex interactions.
- - Analyzing data from the American Men's Internet Survey, researchers identified four different classes of sexual stigma and found that when combined with mental distress, these factors significantly lowered the likelihood of PrEP use and adherence.
- - The findings suggest a need for targeted interventions that consider these psychosocial factors to improve PrEP uptake and adherence among MSM, which can lead to better health outcomes.

Objective: This study examined the interactive relations of experienced interpersonal discrimination, sex, and religious affiliation with pulse wave velocity (PWV), a noninvasive measure of arterial stiffness and indicator of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) prognostic for clinical CVD.
Method: We used multivariable linear regression analyses with cross-sectional data from 797 African American midlife adults in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span study in Baltimore, Maryland, to examine the interactive relations of both linear and quadratic discrimination, religious affiliation status, and sex with PWV in models adjusted for age and poverty status.
Results: Findings revealed a significant three-way interaction of Discrimination² × Religious Affiliation Status × Sex with PWV ( = 0.
