Article Abstract
This study examined the consumption of, attitudes toward, and preferences for mpox media among U.S. sexual and gender minority (SGM) people assigned male at birth (AMAB). A total of 496 SGM people AMAB completed an online cross-sectional survey between August 6 and 15, 2022. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and logistic regressions. Approximately two-thirds of participants overall agreed that media-related content about mpox targeted (66.3%) and stigmatized gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (69.2%). The three most preferred mpox content were the destigmatization of SGM people (44.2%), mpox vaccine accessibility (25.2%), and mpox transmission and prevention (19.2%). Rural participants had a lower likelihood of consuming mpox-related media than urban participants. SGM people AMAB prefer mpox messaging campaigns to be grounded in stigma-reduction to ensure that messages do not perpetrate stigma against them. Stigmatizing content might foster SGM people AMAB to distrust mpox interventions.

Introduction: Black, Latine, and Caribbean (BLC) sexual and gender minorities (SGM) face structural HIV inequities. Sociocentric interventions may address these barriers, but it is unclear if respondent-driven sampling (RDS) can recruit existing BLC SGM friendship groups or if sociocentric HIV prevention interventions are feasible.
Methods: Using an exploratory mixed-methods design (August/2022-January/2024, New York, NY), we recruited participants into a sociocentric RDS group (sRDS) or an individual-level peer referral (PR) group, with qualitative interviews drawn from quantitative participants.

How do we know whether psychological science generalises across groups? External validity, including the nomological network, is key for establishing the utility of psychological constructs in under-investigated populations. We used an online, monthly longitudinal study measuring personality, social relationships and mental health. Among participants (total N = 1777; 31% retention), 73% identified as sexual and/or gender minority (SGM).

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people assigned male at birth (AMAB) report high alcohol use, binge drinking, and alcohol problems. However, little is known about how SGM people AMAB may reduce or cease alcohol use, and the resources they draw upon to do so. The overarching aim of this report is to describe the types, frequencies, and relative success of attempts to quit/cut down on alcohol among a large sample of SGM people AMAB enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Since May 2022, a clade II multinational mpox outbreak has disproportionately affected certain sexually and gender minoritized individuals (SGM). Beyond infectious disease risks, SGM populations face social and structural inequities that may increase their likelihood of experiencing homelessness or engaging in transactional sex (TS). Research on the impact of homelessness and TS on risk of mpox is limited, especially among SGM.
