“…Official agreements between community collaborators, -mostly community-based and primary health care organizations providing HIV prevention and care services to GBMSM in Puerto Rico, and an academic institution- were established to mutually support research activities. A survey was developed to collect data following practices previously implemented to build and adapt culturally congruent data collection instruments (Rodríguez-Díaz, et al, 2014; Rodríguez-Díaz, Reece, Dodge, & Herbenick, 2009). All research collaborators contributed in the logistics for participants’ recruitment, data collection, and analysis.…”

For example, researchers in Puerto Rico have evidenced that there is poor quality sex education available, 15,19 limited access to contraception, 16,17 low levels of reproductive planning, 20 high levels of gender-based violence, 21 and low rates of condom use among women.…”
