Purpose: To investigate same day, previous day, and next day associations between trust, closeness, commitment, jealousy and provision of instrumental support with dating violence victimization and perpetration.

Method: A convenience sample of young women, 16-19 years, in a heterosexual dating relationship with at least one act (past month) of physical or psychological victimization or perpetration, were recruited from urban public locations. Participants answered questions daily via text continuously for four months on dating violence and partner-specific emotions.

Female sex workers (FSW) constitute a highly vulnerable population challenged by numerous co-existing, or syndemic, risk factors. FSW also display resilience to these, and some evidence suggests that resilience may be associated with protective factors that improve health outcomes. We conducted in-depth interviews with indirect sex workers (n = 11) and their clients (n = 18).

In our work as clinicians, researchers, and immigrant rights advocates, we have noted increased anxiety about the possibility of deportation and disruptions in care among immigrants with HIV. Before the 2016 US elections, patients rarely asked about HIV treatment in their home countries. However, since the increase in anti-immigrant rhetoric and arrests by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, patients have voiced concerns about the availability of HIV treatment in their home countries much more frequently.

Objective: To identify a core set of domains (outcomes) to be measured in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) clinical trials that represent both patients' and physicians' priorities.

Methods: We conducted (1) a systematic literature review (SLR) of domains assessed in PsA; (2) international focus groups to identify domains important to people with PsA; (3) two international surveys with patients and physicians to prioritise domains; (4) an international face-to-face meeting with patients and physicians using the nominal group technique method to agree on the most important domains; and (5) presentation and votes at the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) conference in May 2016. All phases were performed in collaboration with patient research partners.

Article Synopsis
  • Qualitative research is increasingly prevalent in public health literature, especially when combined with community-based participatory research (CBPR), but there's a lack of guidance on presenting such research for publication.
  • The article offers practical guidelines for writing about qualitative research within a CBPR framework to help inexperienced partners and enhance manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed journals.
  • It highlights the benefits of qualitative inquiry, provides tips for organizing manuscripts, addresses common pitfalls, and includes examples of successful peer-reviewed publications in this area.

Article Synopsis
  • Incarceration correlates with HIV and STIs, highlighting the need to explore not just the behaviors of incarcerated individuals but also their partners to understand the full impact.
  • The study focuses on women's attitudes and norms regarding sexual behavior while their partners are incarcerated, with 50% reporting other sex partners during this time.
  • Findings indicate that both descriptive and injunctive norms influence the decision to have additional partners, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to promote risk reduction and HIV/STI testing for couples pre- and post-incarceration.
