"I Know What I Need": A Mixed Methods Study of Mental Health-Seeking Behaviors in Formerly Incarcerated Black Men.

Background: Black men in the United States experience disproportionate rates of incarceration, contributing to adverse mental health outcomes. Yet, research on mental health-seeking behaviors of formerly incarcerated Black men (FIBM) remains limited, often focusing on formal mental health services, leaving knowledge gaps about coping strategies, support networks, and the influence of incarceration experiences on health-seeking behaviors.

Purpose: The purpose was to describe how incarceration shapes FIBM's health-seeking behaviors for mental health needs.

The lasting impact of incarceration: A qualitative thematic analysis of mental health in formerly incarcerated Black men.

Black men in the United States face high incarceration rates and formerly incarcerated Black men (FIBM) have worse mental health outcomes than Black men who have never been incarcerated. Incarceration is a driver of population health inequities and as such, its role in contributing to negative mental health outcomes must be examined within FIBM's broader social, environmental, and historical context. The purpose of this study was to examine FIBM's perceptions of mental health broadly, and in relation to their lived experiences with incarceration.

Development of an HIV/STI and partner violence health promotion intervention for abused US Virgin Islands women.

Women in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at disproportionate rates compared to women on the US mainland. Women in violent relationships report experiencing controlling behaviours that decrease their ability to negotiate for sex using condoms or to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Though several evidence-based interventions exist to prevent either IPV or HIV, few address them through an integrated health promotion approach or attend to particular USVI cultural mores.

Contraceptive Use Among Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence and Reproductive Coercion: The Moderating Role of PTSD and Depression.

Women experiencing reproductive coercion (RC) report more unintended pregnancies and mental health symptoms that can influence contraceptive use patterns. We examined associations between RC and contraceptive use among intimate partner violence (IPV) exposed women aged 18-35 ( = 283). We tested depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and co-morbid depression and PTSD as effect modifiers.

Mental health outcomes in formerly incarcerated Black men: A systematic mixed studies review.

Aims: The aim of this review was to evaluate the current state of scientific knowledge describing the mental health of Black men who have experienced incarceration.

Design: This systematic mixed studies review employed a sequential explanatory design integrating quantitative and qualitative published research.

Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Social Work and Criminal Justice databases were searched using search terms addressing core constructs of mental health, Black men, incarceration and re-entry, January 2010 through October 2021.

Compelling Voices of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Prelicensure Nursing Students: Application of the Cultural Humility Framework.

Background: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are increasingly recognized as core values for guiding nursing education, practice, and research. The conceptual framework of cultural humility has been adapted in a variety of health care settings, fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion through openness, supportive interaction, self-awareness, self-reflection, and critique.

Problem: Nurse educators have the opportunity, but may find it challenging, to teach students about the changing landscape of health care and the populations we serve.
