Article Abstract

HIV incidence is increasing among Latino/a/x individuals in the United States, especially among young Latino/x gay, bisexual, and sexual minority men. Latino/a/x populations face heightened structural and social barriers to effective interventions for HIV prevention, including pre-exposure prophylaxis, and across the HIV care continuum. Implementation science provides a timely methodology for developing, testing, and scaling effective interventions into practice. Implementation science considers a specific population's priorities and environment, which is especially relevant given the diversity of Latino/a/x populations. In this article, we present lessons learned from our group's experiences leading HIV-related implementation research with various Latino/a/x populations in the United States and Puerto Rico. We highlight the importance of structural and social determinants of health, community-engaged research, and culturally tailored interventions to address HIV disparities. Implementation researchers and institutional leaders can leverage these lessons learned to drive the multilevel change needed to end the HIV epidemic among Latino/a/x populations.

Cross-racial/ethnic friendships are associated with positive outcomes related to social cohesion; however, attention to the specific school contextual factors that promote these friendships during adolescence and how such factors vary by adolescents' social positions is lacking. This study examined how school diversity and interracial climate were related to students' friendship diversity and whether these associations differed by immigrant status. The participants were from a diverse sample of 591 U.

Food allergy poses substantial social, economic, and quality of life burdens which are even heavier for families that are struggling with food insecurity. In the United States (US), food insecurity disproportionately affects vulnerable and historically marginalized communities, such as Latino/a/x and Black households. Targeting these disparities via our recent Food Equality Initiative (FEI) research intervention was challenging due to the barriers faced by the target underserved populations, which included poor digital literacy, language barriers, and limited access to necessary resources.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the intersection between trauma and discrimination among Black and Latino/a/x youth seeking treatment. Specifically, we examine the following: (1) the frequency of various everyday discrimination experiences, averaged across the sample and disaggregated by demographic characteristics; (2) unique associations between exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and everyday discrimination experiences; and (3) unique associations between everyday discrimination experiences and specific posttraumatic stress symptoms while accounting for demographic characteristics and PTEs.

Method: Participants were 573 Black (54.
