Reimagining the Future of Reproduction from a Black Queer Lens: An Art-Based Approach to the Study of Reproductive Health Care.

Black Queer people's reproductive experiences are largely under-documented and under-reported in health communication research, despite the omnipresence of their storytelling within humanities-based literature. Drawing from a larger health study using Black feminist perspectives and centering Black Queer people's lived experiences with reproduction, previous health research, and Black Queer poetics, this study uses an art-based research approach to create erasure poems that detail how Black Queer birthing people resist and survive reproductive-based injustices. Specifically, through this innovative approach, I construct eight erasure poems developed from the previous insights of Black Queer people's answer to "What is the future of reproduction?" These poems detail unparalleled truths about the needs and strategies that necessitate efforts to improve reproductive justice for my community.

Black Queer Being/Knowing/Feeling: Storytelling of Barriers to Reproductive Healthcare.

This current study builds power with 10 Black Queer birthing people (or Partners) by centering on their gestation-based storytelling within discourse about reproduction.

Social determinants of flu vaccine uptake among racial/ethnic minorities in the United States.

Research on the social determinants of vaccine uptake often occur between racial/ethnic groups and not within groups. Though minoritized individuals face inequalities across the board, these are also not evenly distributed amongst minoritized individuals within groups. Using the National Health Interview Survey data, we examined disparities in flu vaccine uptake across racial/ethnic groups in the United States (US).

Informed Consent for Online Research-Is Anybody Reading?: Assessing Comprehension and Individual Differences in Readings of Digital Consent Forms.

Informed consent is an important part of the research process; however, some participants either do not read or skim the consent form. When participants do not read or comprehend informed consent, then they may not understand the potential benefits, risks, or details of the study before participating. This study used previous research to develop experimentally manipulated online consent forms utilizing various presentations of the consent form and interactive elements.
