Article Abstract
High HIV incidence in the US South disproportionately affects adolescents, young adults, and Black women. Using a community-engaged approach and intervention mapping, we developed PrEP-Pro, an intervention to support family medicine physician-trainees to elicit a sexual history from and provide pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to adolescents, with special emphasis on engaging with Black adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). Intervention content includes PrEP curricula, adaptations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s sexual history tool, and a PrEP Champion training program. Two community advisory boards (CABs)-one consisting of PrEP Champions and physicians, the other of AGYW-and two focus group discussions with physicians ( = 7) informed intervention content. We pretested PrEP-Pro at two sites over 3 months and assessed acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility. The provider CAB advised multiple training strategies: (1) locally informed sexual history videos; (2) HIV epidemiology review; (3) quick-reference badge and pocket cards on PrEP and eliciting sexual histories; (4) didactic, case-based content; (5) web-based content. The AGYW CAB informed development of (6) a sexual history screener and (7) clinic posters emphasizing confidentiality for adolescent clients. Across two family medicine residency programs, eight physicians participated in the 3-month pretest of the intervention. Acceptability (mean = 4.16/5 [standard deviation (SD) = 1.36]), appropriateness (4.16/5 [1.36]), and feasibility (4.19/5 [1.37]) were high. Six physician interviews informed adaptations including fostering a community of practice, increased case-based learning, and quick-reference card content modifications. We combined theory-driven and evidence-informed components to adapt and pilot PrEP-Pro to support physicians in discussing PrEP with adolescents. The adapted intervention was piloted across clinics to inform a future trial.

Childhood trauma and drinking motives as predictors of sexual assault in college students.

Sexual assault on college campuses remains a pervasive issue, with students who consume alcohol at heightened risk for more frequent and severe victimization. A history of childhood trauma and specific drinking motives may increase this vulnerability, yet little research has examined how these factors interact to inform the impact of sexual assault frequency and severity during college. In this study, we used Bayesian multiple regression and random forest modeling to analyze the impact of childhood trauma and drinking motives on sexual assault among college students (N = 624).

Background: More than 20% of cervical cancers are diagnosed in women older than 65 years. Guidelines recommend screening exit at age 65 for average-risk patients only if certain criteria are met, yet most women aged 64-66 years in the United States are inadequately screened. In this mixed methods study, we explored clinician knowledge of exit criteria.

Despite having published seventeen novels, a good number of short stories, and scripts since she started her writing career at the end of the 1970s, academic work on Moggach's literary career has mainly dealt with her novel These Foolish Things (2004) and its film version The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011). This paper will focus on Moggach's last three novels in which the reader is guided by the voice of three women in their late sixties and seventies, namely Something to Hide (2015), The Carer (2019), and The Black Dress (2021). Following an already well-established body of criticism on representations of female ageing in fiction, this paper will argue that Moggach's last novels add nuance and richness to the representation of female ageing in the twenty-first century.

Given concerns about possible "retraumatization" among individuals who participate in research examining the impact of sexual assault (SA), this study explored college student perceptions of participation in a longitudinal SA-focused study. Participants ( = 124) were college women who had (21%) or had not (79%) experienced SA in the past 12 months. At each of five timepoints (baseline through 12-month follow-up), they reported sexual trauma history and trauma-related psychopathology, completed a written narrative of their SA (if endorsed), and answered three questions about distress and cost-benefit of their participation.
