Significance of the Research. This dissertation addresses gaps in the literature and advances research on the relationships between neighborhood characteristics and women’s sexual health by using multilevel approaches to investigate associations of neighborhood characteristics with sexual risk behavior, sex partner risk, and STIs among a predominately HIV-infected cohort of women living in the Southern US. This dissertation research will be the first study to explore whether and how neighborhood-level characteristics (e.g., social disorder) influence sexual risk behavior (e.g., unprotected vaginal intercourse), sexual network characteristics (e.g., sex partner non-monogamy), and current STI status among HIV-infected women. An understanding of whether and how neighborhood environments contribute to the sexual health of women living with HIV can inform the development of future multilevel interventions designed to improve women’s sexual health and reduce HIV/STI transmission. Aim 1. Examine relationships between neighborhood characteristics and sex partner risk, and investigate whether the magnitudes and directions of these relationships vary by HIV status. Subaim 1. Examine relationships between social organizational factors (e.g., neighborhood trust and cohesion) and sex partner risk, and explore the role of neighborhood trust and cohesion in the relationships between social disorder and sex partner risk. Aim 2. Examine relationships between neighborhood characteristics and sexual risk Aim 3. Examine relationships between neighborhood characteristics and current STI This research is guided by the Socioecologic Framework (SEF) and social organization models (i.e., Social Disorganization Theory, Social Capital) (Figure 1.1).49,50,56,57 We hypothesized that the relationship between neighborhood factors and sexual risk would be moderated by HIV status. The SEF provides a valuable framework through which to conceptualize the multilevel determinants of sexual risk and STIs, and acknowledges that health behaviors and related outcomes are influenced by multiple facets of the physical and social environment, which are multidimensional and multilevel. The SEF allows for the integration of other theoretical constructs, which can refine research on different levels’ impacts on health behavior. Social organization theories, which posit that differential health outcomes across communities are a function of community cohesion and trust, were used to inform the selection of constructs to explore the r...

Significance of the Research. Currently, a call to action from stakeholders and educators invested in the mental health of youths is growing louder in the movement to scale up school-based mental health screening programs (Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2008; Xxxxx et al., 2010; Xxxxxx et al., 2009; Xxxxxx et al., 2007; Xxxxxx et al., 2015; Xxxxx et al., 2006; Xxxxxxxx, et al., 2008; Xxxxxxxx, et al., 2007; Short, 2003; Xxxxxx et al., 2000; Xxxxx et al., 2007). At the same time, literature comparing various options of instruments used to assess mental health is lacking in the area of mental health screening research. Without this evidence base, program developers are unable to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of various screening instruments. Further, their ability to properly select instruments that have been shown to perform accurately, consistently, and efficiently across school contexts is severely limited. In particular, research involving direct comparisons of multiple screening instruments used to assess the same population is lacking. Specifically, little to no existing research has involved the direct comparison of the widely used SDQ and BASC-2 XXXX instruments, particularly within the same population. This research will add to the literature on school-based mental health screening and to research focused on the psychometric properties of instruments used in the assessment of youth mental health. This research may be particularly valuable to communities that are considering the use of the SDQ and BASC-2 XXXX. More narrowly, this research will help inform future decision-making in Stage 1 of the gating process in the PLAY-MH research study.

Significance of the Research. This dissertation addresses gaps in the scientific literature on pharmacists’ attitudes and practices related to provision of syringes to PWID. This is the first study to combine qualitative and quantitative methods to develop and test theory-driven comprehensive models explaining the linkage between background and contextual factors (i.e. knowledge, social conservatism), stigma, pharmacists’ and pharmacy students’ attitudes towards PWID and syringe sale practices. This is the first study to explore service providers’ attitudes and practices related to provision of HIV prevention services to PWID in Tajikistan and in Central Asia in general, a region with disproportionately high prevalence of HIV among this population. This research also aims to test the applicability of an established behavioral science theory (see Theoretical Framework section) to explaining attitudes and practices related to syringe sales. The study results will help to inform the development of interventions promoting accessibility of syringes for PWID in Tajikistan as part of comprehensive HIV response. To that end, this exploratory study will pursue the following specific aims: Since the literature suggests that attitudes and beliefs play an important role in forming pharmacists’ decision to provide services to PWID, we assume that the willingness of the former to provide syringes can be explained by applying the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM). Developed as an extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), IBM integrates attitudes and beliefs as key constructs explaining intent to perform the behavior – a major determinant of actual behavior. IBM and TPB also account for the influence of perceived external factors (i.e. social norms, environmental barriers and facilitators) on behavior by encompassing perceived norms and self-efficacy constructs. IBM and TPB have been successfully applied to a wide range of behaviors in various settings (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2008). In particular, TPB has been used to investigate attitudes of Texas pharmacists to OTC sales of syringes to known or suspected PWID (Xxxxxxxx, 2003). The proposed theoretical framework (Figure 1.1 for pharmacists and 1.2 for students) is based on the relationships between the core constructs as predicted by IBM and TPB, and their association with background influences thought to be relevant based on the literature review (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2008). In particular, actually providing syringes to PWIDs is a function of t...
