Derek T. Dangerfield II: Prevention Science & Targeted Methods for HIV/STI Research with Black Sexual Minority Men, Gebunden

Klappentext

Despite substantial advances in HIV/STI treatment and prevention for general population health, sexual health disparities persist for Black gay, bisexual, and other Black sexual minority men (SMM). Strategies to build trust and overcome barriers are not well-established and solutions remain elusive. The contemporary prevention science landscape also requires updated perspectives in light of changing social policies, technological advancements, and prevention options. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview for sexual health prevention science using years of significant research from Dangerfield II et al. involving U. S. Black SMM in light of existing studies. This book identifies knowledge and practice gaps and proposes recommendations for innovative methods for academic collaboration with communities of practice. Researchers, clinicians, and public health practitioners will be guided through the sexual health research and intervention process using targeted contemporary studies to enhance their practice. This book serves as a valuable resource for enhancing the skills of emerging prevention scientists and clinicians. It also offers innovative strategies for experienced prevention experts to refine techniques and address persistent health disparities in sexual health outcomes. The book targets audiences across disciplines, including public health, sociology, psychology, nursing, medicine, anthropology, and population science and can be applied to marginalized communities globally. By bridging research, practice, and innovation, this book serves as a transformative resource for addressing sexual health disparities and empowering collaborative solutions to advance equity in the U. S. and around the globe.
