“…Additionally, adolescence is a developmental life stage that may also be stigmatized in ways that can form a tripartite of intersectional HIV, sexual and adolescence stigmas 51 , 52 . This age-related stigma can manifest as dismissal of one’s sexuality as immaturity, confusion, experimentation or rebelliousness 53 . These norms of stigma are social processes that can exist latently in an organization’s culture and practices; however, interventions that aim to increase HIV prevention or treatment uptake among adolescent SMM can trigger the activation of these stigmas within implementing agencies and impede outcomes.…”

Using the Implementation Research Logic Model as a Lens to View Experiences of Implementing HIV Prevention and Care Interventions with Adolescent Sexual Minority Men—A Global Perspective

Adolescents and sexual minority men (SMM) are high priority groups in the United Nations’ 2021 − 2016 goals for HIV prevention and viral load suppression. Interventions aimed at optimizing HIV prevention, testing and viral load suppression for adolescents must also attend to the intersectional realities influencing key sub-populations of SMM. Consequently, there is not a robust evidence-base to guide researchers and program partners on optimal approaches to implementing interventions with adolescent SMM. Using a multiple case study design, we integrated the Implementation Research Logic Model with components of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and applied it as a framework for a comparative description of ten HIV related interventions implemented across five countries (Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and United States). Using self-reported qualitative survey data of project principal investigators, we identified 17 of the most influential implementation determinants as well as a range of 17 strategies that were used in 90 instances to support intervention implementation. We highlight lessons learned in the implementation research process and provide recommendations for researchers considering future HIV implementation science studies with adolescent SMM.

“…Younger workers report not feeling valued, receiving belittling comments and being generally perceived as incompetent because they look young, and receiving fewer development opportunities [ 183 , 193 , 219 ]. Another article makes a distinction between enacted stigma whereby a person makes explicit comments about a participant’s age, and felt stigma where the participant is made to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about age, noting that whilst both older and younger workers report instances of felt stigma, only younger workers report instances of enacted stigma [ 189 ].…”

Systematic efforts have been carried out to study ageism against older populations. Less is known about ageism against younger populations, including how it is defined, how it manifests, its effects, and how it can be addressed. A scoping review was conducted aimed at identifying available evidence on these topics. A comprehensive search strategy was used across thirteen databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Records were screened by two independent reviewers. Data extraction was done by one rater and independently reviewed by a second rater. Of the 9270 records identified, 263 were eligible for inclusion. Most of the evidence focused on the manifestation of ageism (86%), followed by a focus on the determinants of ageism (17%), available interventions to address ageism (9%), and the effects of ageism (5%). This study points to the inconsistent terminology used to describe ageism against younger populations and the relatively limited theoretical rationale that guides existing studies. It also highlights key research gaps and points to the strengths of existing research.

“…This uncertainty arises due to reported variations in experiences of discrimination among younger and older employees in the literature ( Bertolino et al, 2013 ; Finkelstein et al, 2013 ). Building upon that argument it is worth considering the study results by McClellan and Beggan (2017) . Their findings indicate an age-related distinction between two forms of stigma: enacted stigma, characterized by explicit comments about a participant’s age, and felt stigma, where the participant experiences discomfort and self-consciousness related to age.…”

“… McClellan and Beggan (2017) conducted qualitative interviews involving both younger and older librarians, analyzing their experiences of negative age-related interactions within a professional context. In their study, they highlighted an illustrative incident: “When Andrea, 30, gave a faculty member a business card at a networking event, another faculty member commented, “I’ve never seen a graduate student with business cards before—how professional!” […] She felt that this tone captured how her professional activities were diminished when they were associated with her youth.” Andrea’s experience is not an isolated one ( Duncan and Loretto, 2004 ; Diehl and Dzubinski, 2023 ), emphasizing the pervasive nature of age-related discrimination.…”

In contemporary workplaces characterized by diverse age groups working collaboratively, the assessment of age discrimination as an interpersonal phenomenon has gained heightened significance. This study focuses on adapting and scrutinizing the psychometric properties of the German iteration of the Workplace Age Discrimination Scale (WADS-G). Comprehensive Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results affirm a robust fit for the unidimensional model. Convergent validity is established through correlations between WADS-G scores and related instruments, while discriminant validity is evidenced by its lack of association with extraversion. Noteworthy findings include a positive correlation with turnover intention and negative correlations with job satisfaction, occupational self-efficacy, and organizational affective commitment. Despite its merits, the predictive efficacy of the WADS-G is notably inferior when juxtaposed with the Workplace Incivility Scale. Its explanatory power for turnover intention is constrained when accounting for variables such as job satisfaction, work environment, neuroticism, and core self-evaluation. Although measurement invariance testing across gender groups reveals scalar to strict measurement invariance, the examination across age groups indicates metric invariance. However, Confirmatory Factor Analyses for the 18–30 and 50+ age groups, central to the research emphasis, reveal suboptimal model fit. These outcomes prompt a nuanced discussion on whether the WADS-G aptly captures age-discriminatory experiences across diverse age and gender cohorts among employees.
