Previous Projects
The Stay Safe study gathered qualitative data from young heterosexual African American men in Detroit at a federally qualified health center and in the local community in order to identify barriers to sexual health care and strategies for circumventing them.
MASCS II explored the spectrum of masculinities experienced, projected, and enacted by young black men. We examined how these function as risk and protective factors and how they influence care-seeking behaviors. We also plan to compare this to that of transgender men (MASCS I) to explore their similarities and differences.
Black Pathways: An examination of Facilitators and Barriers for Career Advancement in the Healthcare Professions is a study that
provided new knowledge of how experiences of structural racism shape the career trajectories of Black healthcare entry and mid-career individuals. This study is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson foundation.
