“…Although not sought out specifically in the process of conducting this review, many protocols have been identified for continued research into the development of digital health interventions [ 107 - 112 ]. The development of digital health interventions for LGBTIQ+ young people is a burgeoning field of study, and we expect the evidence base to advance quickly.…”

Background Young people (aged 12-25 years) with diverse sexuality, gender, or bodily characteristics, such as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or queer (LGBTIQ+), are at substantially greater risk of a range of mental, physical, and sexual health difficulties compared with their peers. Digital health interventions have been identified as a potential way to reduce these health disparities. Objective This review aims to summarize the characteristics of existing evidence-based digital health interventions for LGBTIQ+ young people and to describe the evidence for their effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using internet databases and gray literature sources, and the results were screened for inclusion. The included studies were synthesized qualitatively. Results The search identified 38 studies of 24 unique interventions seeking to address mental, physical, or sexual health–related concerns in LGBTIQ+ young people. Substantially more evidence-based interventions existed for gay and bisexual men than for any other population group, and there were more interventions related to risk reduction of sexually transmitted infections than to any other health concern. There was some evidence for the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of these interventions overall; however, the quality of evidence is often lacking. Conclusions There is sufficient evidence to suggest that targeted digital health interventions are an important focus for future research aimed at addressing health difficulties in LGBTIQ+ young people. Additional digital health interventions are needed for a wider range of health difficulties, particularly in terms of mental and physical health concerns, as well as more targeted interventions for same gender–attracted women, trans and gender-diverse people, and people with intersex variations.

Evidence and implication of interventions across various socioecological levels to address HIV testing uptake among men who have sex with men in the United States: A systematic review

Objectives: Strengthening HIV testing uptake is critical to curtail the HIV epidemics among men who have sex with men in the United States. Despite the implementation of various interventions to promote HIV testing among men who have sex with men, few aggregated evidence is presented to reflect the “lessons learned” and inform future directions. The objective of this systematic review is to comprehensively summarize published studies that described, tested, and evaluated outcomes (e.g. efficacy, effectiveness, acceptability, feasibility and/or qualitative opinions) associated with an HIV testing intervention and identify gaps as well as opportunities to inform the design and implementation of future interventions to enhance HIV testing uptake among men who have sex with men in the United States. Methods: We followed the PRISMA guidelines and conducted a systematic review of articles (published by 23 July 2021) by searching multiple databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science and PsycINFO). Results: Among the total number of 3505 articles found through multiple databases, 56 papers were included into the review. Interventional modules that demonstrated acceptability, feasibility and efficacy to improve HIV testing uptake among men who have sex with men include: HIV self-testing, interpersonal-level (e.g. peer-led, couple-based) interventions, personalized interventions and technology-based interventions (e.g. mHealth). Aggregated evidence also reflects the lack of individualized interventions that simultaneously address time-varying needs across multiple socioecological levels (e.g. individual, interpersonal, community, structural and societal). Conclusion: Development of interventions to improve HIV testing rates and frequency of men who have sex with men has proliferated in recent years. Our review presents important implications in sustaining and improving interventions to address HIV testing uptake among men who have sex with men in the United States.

“…There is a significant need for in‐group healthcare providers (Hudson, 2019; Poteat et al, 2019; Salerno et al, 2019), particularly as participants sought out providers who matched their racial/ethnic and/or gender identity (Howard et al, 2019; Hudson, 2019). When examining interventions around HIV preventative measures that do not include PrEP, the literature suggested that interventions be aimed at testing (Bukowski et al, 2018), be culturally sensitive, and tailored to the individual (Koblin et al, 2017; MacCarthy et al, 2019).…”

Transgender and gender non‐conforming people (TGNC), individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, experience unique stressors, discrimination, and barriers to health and wellbeing. TGNC People of Colour (POC) navigate the nexus of racism, cisgenderism (and often homophobia) in their daily lives, resulting in uniquely intersecting forms of discrimination, and pronounced disparities in their health and well‐being. In order to examine the current state of knowledge about the health and wellbeing of TGNC POC, we conducted a systematic search and review of peer‐reviewed journal articles published between 1 January 2010 and 1 May 2020 that focused on this population. A systematic search identified (3,575) papers, with 76 of those meeting full inclusion criteria. In our review, we were able to identify physical health and psychological wellbeing (which included resilience), as core clusters of research focused on TGNC POC. We identified specific factors that hindered physical and psychological health (what we call “push” factors) as well as those that promoted it (what we call “pull” factors). Leveraging these findings, we offer ways forward for best practice in clinical work and carrying out research with this population.
