Four coping themes emerged: avoidant behaviors, self-monitoring so as to not attract stigma, seeking support and safe spaces to be themselves, and empowerment and self-acceptance through a process of cognitive change. They utilized multiple coping strategies, often believing that stigma could be avoided through the right actions and a masculine appearance.

This study used qualitative data to identify the weight- and health-focused conversations occurring in racially/ethnically diverse households. Children ages 5-7 and their families (n=150) from six racial/ethnic groups (i.e., African American, Hispanic, Hmong, Native American, Somali, White) participated in this mixed-methods study. Results showed that parents from households with and without a child with overweight/obesity engaged in similar weight- and health-focused conversations (qualitative themes = focus on growth; health consequences of having overweight/obesity; focus on dietary intake and physical activity; being direct about weight, shape or size; mixing weight- and health-focused conversations). In addition, findings showed that parents also engaged in different types of weight- and health focused conversations depending on whether the household had a child with overweight/obesity (qualitative themes = weight-based teasing; critiquing own weight) or without overweight/obesity (qualitative themes = differences in body shape and size are the norm; focus on modeling rather than talking).

However, limited research has explored structural drivers of Black YMSM' criminal justice involvement, particularly co-occurring forms of discrimination. This article examines the temporal relationship between perceived racial discrimination, perceived sexual orientation discrimination, and community-level HIV discrimination and criminal justice involvement among Black YMSM in North Carolina. The study followed 465 Black YMSM from November 2013 to October 2016 who were recruited for a randomized controlled trial to test an internet-based intervention for Black YMSM living with, and at risk for HIV; participants completed online surveys at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between the three predictors at baseline (i.e., perceived racism and sexual orientation discrimination and community-level HIV discrimination) and criminal justice involvement at follow-up. All three predictor variables were significantly associated with subsequent criminal justice involvement in separate regression models that adjusted for other covariates: HIV discrimination (aOR = 1.06 [1.01-1.11]), perceived sexual orientation discrimination (aOR = 1.12 [1.00-1.27]), and perceived racism (aOR = 1.26 [1.12-1.42]). Perceived racism remained significant in the model with all three predictors (aOR = 1.29 [1.07-1.55]). Racism did not modify the relationship between HIV discrimination and perceived sexual orientation discrimination and criminal justice involvement. This study expands existing research by exploring racism as a structural driver of criminal justice involvement; we subsequently examined whether racism modified the effect of the two other predictors. It also contributes to research on co-occurring discrimination by examining their impact on an underrepresented population.</p>","PeriodicalId":53222,"journal":{"name":"Stigma and Health","volume":"8 2","pages":"170-178"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10348694/pdf/nihms-1672099.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9828352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Community participants (<i>N</i> = 320, 46.9% women) completed self-report measures of substance-use-related stigma experiences, negative and positive emotion dysregulation, and depressive symptoms. Results showed that, adjusting for gender and substance use severity, substance use stigma was positively associated with emotion dysregulation, which in turn related to depressive symptoms. Substance use stigma was also found to be indirectly associated with depressive symptoms through emotion dysregulation, suggesting that emotion dysregulation accounted for the significant association between substance use stigma and depressive symptoms. These findings provide initial support for the role of emotion dysregulation as a mechanism through which stigma operates to undermine the mental health of substance-using, trauma-exposed individuals.

We examined the associations between relationship type and outness, stigma-related experiences, and mental health using data from Wave 1 of the National Study of Stigma and Sexual Health, a probability-based sample of 502 gay and bisexual men in the U.S. Analyses focused on the subset of 128 men who identified as bisexual (44.53% in relationships with women, 14.84% in relationships with men, 40.63% not in relationships). Bisexual men in relationships with men reported being more out than those in relationships with women and those who were not in relationships; furthermore, bisexual men in relationships with men reported more discrimination and family stress than those in relationships with women.
