    Abstract Objectives: To examine experiences of immigration, sexual minority stressors, and mental health and sexual health among first-generation (born outside of the United States) Arab immigrant sexual minority men (SMM) in the United States.
    Method: We conducted in-depth one-on-one virtual interviews with 16 cisgender men residing in different U.S. states. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the most salient themes and relationships among them.
    Results: The experiences of Arab immigrant SMM centered around five themes: "my whole plan was to come to the U.S. to be open to who I am," "not fitting in" (homophobia, racism, sexual racism, xenophobia), "a lot of impact on my mental health," sexual health (inconsistent condom use, multiple sexual partners, preexposure prophylaxis use, testing), and coping strategies.
    Conclusions: Participants reported multiple forms of stressors related to their intersectional identities that affected their mental health, sexual health, and coping strategies. Many stressors were experienced before immigrating to the United States; however, several stressors persisted, and some new ones emerged after immigration. Results call for the development of mental health interventions informed by the unique experiences of Arab immigrant SMM and integrated within community-based organizations to foster adaptive coping strategies, social support, and community belonging.

    Abstract Background: Due to the rising prevalence of alcohol use disorders among young adults, the need for effective and accessible interventions has become increasingly imperative. In acknowledgment of this issue, we developed a novel intervention known as contingency management plus problem solving therapy (CM-PST). The aim of the current study was to gain insight into the perspectives on the effectiveness of the newly developed CM-PST using focus group discussion among young adults who consume alcohol regularly.
    Materials and methods: The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing focus group discussions as the primary data collection method. Participants described their perceptions regarding the newly developed CM-PST. Semi-structured focus group sessions were conducted
    Results: Participants demonstrated overall positive attitudes toward the novel intervention, recognizing the potential benefits, it could offer in terms of alcohol use reduction and emotional well-being. They emphasized the importance of incentives in motivating behavioral changes, as well as the practicality of problem-solving techniques in addressing everyday challenges. Additionally, participants provided valuable insights into potential barriers and implementation challenges, highlighting the need for flexible and personalized approaches to accommodate individual preferences and needs.
    Conclusions: The results of this study contribute to the growing body of literature on innovative intervention approaches for young adults facing alcohol use issues. The findings shed light on the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of the CM-PST intervention from the perspective of the target population.

    Abstract Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is effective in addressing health disparities. Lack of inclusion of vulnerable populations in research perpetuates systemic inequities. Community-academic partnership must represent the voices and experiences of marginalized populations.
    Objective: To inform future research by sharing lessons learned from community-academic partnerships among three distinct vulnerable populations: Arab youth, Black girls and women, and sex workers.
    Methods: Community-based participatory researchers use reflexivity to identify and describe lessons learned when working with three vulnerable populations.
    Lessons learned: Lessons learned focus on power sharing and community partnership which facilitated CBPR. We also describe how institutional roadblocks such as tenure and promotion timelines, institutional review board approval and erasure, stigmatization, and funding impede CBPR.
    Conclusions: These lessons provide insight for future researchers to consider as they aim to develop strong and equitable community partnerships. Power sharing is required to maintain equitable community partnerships. Balancing community needs with academic expectations is essential to sustain funding. Emphasizing cultural safety and collaboration can address institutional roadblocks.

    Abstract Over the past four decades, the number of people aged over 60 years has increased worldwide, and within this population there has been a proportional increase in people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Executive nurses have an important leadership role in challenging heterocisnormative care practices in healthcare environments that affect the well-being of older adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning and others (LGBTQ+). This article reports on the findings of a secondary analysis of data extracted from an earlier scoping review to provide recommendations for executive nurses on how to advocate for LGBTQ+ older adults and create safe and inclusive healthcare environments for them.

    Abstract Background: Researchers in studies from multiple countries suggest that sexual and gender minority people experience high rates of violence, stigma, and discrimination, as well as mistrust of health care providers and systems. Despite growing evidence related to sexual and gender minority health in North America and Europe, we know little about the health of this population in the Middle East and North Africa.
    Objectives: We aimed to comprehensively examine the literature related to the health of sexual and gender minority people in the Middle East and North Africa and to identify research gaps and priorities.
    Design: We conducted a scoping review informed by the framework recommended by Arksey and O'Malley and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) tool.
    Data sources: We searched the following databases: PubMed (using Medline All on the Ovid platform), PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco), and Embase (Ovid). The search strategy combined terms for the geographic region of interest (Middle East and North Africa) and the population of interest (sexual and gender minority). Each was operationalized using multiple search terms and, where available, controlled vocabulary terms.
    Review methods: Research articles were identified and assessed for inclusion using an explicit strategy. Relevant information was extracted and synthesized to present a descriptive summary of existing evidence.
    Results: Research designs of the 98 articles we reviewed included quantitative (
    Conclusion: Although our study is limited to few countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, we found that sexual and gender minority individuals face multiple adverse sexual and mental health outcomes and experience high rates of stigma, discrimination, and violence. More research is needed from countries outside of Lebanon, Pakistan, and Iran, including community-based participatory approaches and multi-level intervention development. Nurses and other healthcare providers in the region need training in providing inclusive care for this population.

    Abstract Aims: Intimate partner violence (IPV) rates in the Arab American community are high, and there are gaps in the understanding of young adults' perspectives on IPV and its prevention. The aims of this study are to describe Arab American young adults' perspectives on the design of IPV prevention programmes and to document and explore their understanding and experiences with IPV.
    Design: This exploratory study was part of a larger community-based participatory mixed-method study (QUAL-quan) amongst Arabs in Chicago and focused on young adult participants (18-25 years).
    Methods: Participants (n = 44) completed an IPV survey about IPV perpetration and victimization, dating violence norms, conflict management skills, gender stereotyping, and belief in the need for help. From four focus groups (22 participants), we explored Arab American young adults' perspectives on IPV prevention programme development.
    Results: Participants supported the adaptation and development of a youth-centred IPV prevention intervention that is community-based, culturally informed, and inclusive of multiple Arab community stakeholders. The survey results indicated multiple experiences with psychological and physical dating violence victimization (76.3% and 47.2%) and perpetration (62.2% and 27%).
    Conclusion: Arab American young adults in Chicago are exposed to high rates of IPV. Community-based participatory approaches are needed to develop IPV prevention interventions that centre community needs.
    Impact: Intimate partner violence is a significant public health problem; nearly 1 in 4 women have experienced IPV at some point in their life, and about 70% of those experiencing IPV, experience their first victimization before the age of 25. Arab American young adults experience high rates of IPV victimization and perpetration, requiring urgent attention. Participants proposed various community-based strategies to develop IPV prevention programmes that include multiple community stakeholders. Community-based organizations and researchers, schools and religious institutions could establish collaborations to ensure the adaptation and development of community-informed IPV prevention programmes.

    Abstract Background: Despite the need to consider multiple sources of evidence to guide locally and culturally relevant interventions, few studies have documented the process by which evidence is integrated.
    Objectives: We leveraged a community-academic partnership to describe a participatory approach to integrating community and academic sources of evidence to inform cancer programming priorities in the Arab American (ArA) community in Southwest Chicago.
    Methods: Informed by Intervention Mapping, this study comprised three phases led by community and academic partners: 1) qualitative assessment of cancer-related priorities through eight focus groups with 48 ArA community members, 2) a focused literature review to identify models of cancer interventions implemented with ArAs, and 3) integration of focus group and literature review findings and development of a strategy for a community-based cancer program administered by the community partner.
    Results: Focus groups revealed attitudes and beliefs across the cancer control continuum. The literature review highlighted two cancer interventions utilizing education, community health workers, and patient navigation components. Through facilitated discussions with community partners, we integrated community and academic sources of evidence to develop a comprehensive cancer program plan that is informed by the data we generated as well as our community partners' preferences and organizational capacity.
    Conclusions: Our participatory approach for integrating community and academic sources of evidence generated a locally relevant strategy to address cancer burden in the ArA community in Chicago. We discuss the benefits and challenges of utilizing this approach in intervention development.
