Health Care Providers and Health Messaging Sample Clauses

Health Care Providers and Health Messaging. The data demonstrate having a medical care provider with whom the target population can relate to is extremely important. Previous research has demonstrated that black MSM in general experience stigma and discrimination, especially as it relates to medical care (Eaton et al., 2015). When providing medical care to YBMSM, one should have an increased awareness of previous experiences of stigma and work to make individuals feel comfortable.

The use of peer role models or facilitators that share the same culture experiences and sexual orientation could be a successful way in developing support networks. As mentioned by this study’s participants, they are expressing the need for an influential person to be honest and accepting of their behaviors. Finding this local spokesperson is perhaps a way for this target population to feel connected a community, or group of people with similar backgrounds and shared experiences. Ideally, this connection can help YBMSM resolve identity conflicts and feelings of stigma or discrimination. A qualitative study conducted by Xxxxxxx et. al (2012) found similar findings in that YBMSM want informed social role models.
