abstract = {A survey of 68 American Indian women (aged 18–75 yrs) in New York City—aimed to inform community based HIV prevention approaches—revealed that respondents indicated generally high levels of HIV knowledge and self-efficacy for safer behavior and low levels of perceived risk. Few had ever injected drugs, and 54% had been tested for HIV. However, 38% had used alcohol or other drugs in the last 6 months, and among the 59% who reported sexual activity in this period, 80% had had unprotected sex. Alarmingly, 44% reported lifetime trauma, including domestic violence (25%) and physical (27%) or sexual (27%) assault by a family member or stranger. Consistent with a postcolonial theoretical framework, trauma was a better predictor of HIV risk behavior than social cognitive variables. Moreover, preliminary logistic regression analyses indicated the use of alcohol or other drugs may mediate the relationship between nonpartner sexual assault and sexual risk behaviors. Implications for future research and culturally relevant community-based interventions are considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)},

abstract = {Research on American Indian identity has been, for the most part, poorly conceptualized and its findings contradictory. Indian identity has been shown to relate to positive mental health and cultural continuity and survival. However, the identity of gay and lesbian American Indians has not yet been addressed. Toward the formulation of a preliminary model of urban lesbian and gay American Indian (GAI) identity development, the author delineates acculturation levels, cultural values, and conflicts in allegiances that GAIs face in negotiating a positive identity. Implications for clinical practice, research, and mental health service delivery are outlined.},

abstract = {This paper reports the findings of a survey of 108 elderly heterosexual and homosexual men and women in urban Central and Southern California. The purpose of the study was to test the assumption that elderly gay men and lesbians are more depressed and socially-isolated than their heterosexual cohort. The findings indicate that there are no significant differences between older heterosexuals and homosexuals in regard to depression and social support. However, the sources of social support from friends, while heterosexual elderly derive more support from family. The findings suggest a need to redefine the concept of family to include "friendship families." Future research which investigates the way in which these friendship families are created and maintained has the potential to benefit all elderly, especially those who have no biological families or whose biological families are unavailable for support.},
