Released/updated on: 2015-05-01
Geographic coverage: United States
This project conducts a multi-level, cross sectional study to identify key neighborhood-level characteristics that may influence sexual risk behaviors, substance use and depression among men who have sex with men (MSM). To achieve these aims, the study enrolls a geographically and ethnically diverse sample of 1500 MSMs in New York City. Participants provide information via ACASI on their sexual risk behaviors and substance use and depression, perceptions of residential and social neighborhoods, and individual-level covariate data.

Gender, Power and Latino Men's HIV Risk (ICPSR 35837)
Released/updated on: 2015-04-24
Geographic coverage: United States
The project has a 4-year ethnographic study design with two components of data collection to investigate issues of bisexuality and HIV risk among Latinos in the United States. The first component consists of in-depth interviews with behaviorally bisexual Latino men (N=160) from five research sites in the New York City metropolitan area. The first two years of the study are dedicated to the in-depth interviews component. The second data collection component of the study is an ethnography. This component lasts 3 years, beginning in years 1 and 2 with key informant interviews (N=25) and continuing in year 3 with ethnographic mapping and 25 group interviews with AIDS Service Delivery Organizations across the 5 research sites. The last year of the project focuses on using Intervention Mapping (IM) to analyze the data collected and design the pilot intervention to reduce HIV risk among bisexual Latino men.

Heterosexual Men's Perspectives on Sexual Behavior and Sexual Risk Taking (ICPSR 35839)
Released/updated on: 2015-04-28
Geographic coverage: United States
This project collects data on young adult men's perspectives on sexual behavior and risk-taking. It includes initial interviews to elicit young men's sexual scripts, examining their relationship to sexual risk and protective behaviors. The scripts derived from these interviews are used to develop a refined survey administered to a larger sample, 500 men. This second round of surveys assesses the degree to which these sexual scripts act as mediators between hypothesized predictor variables and HIV risk/protective factors. Men are recruited from multiple racial/ethnic groups.

Human Aging: A Biological and Behavioral Longitudinal Study of Healthy Aged Males, 1957-1968 (ICPSR 7678)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1957-01-01--1968-01-01
This data collection contains data gathered in a
longitudinal study of a sample of men aged 65 to 92 who were in good
health during the first wave of the study in 1957. The chief aim of
the study was to focus on the nature of the normal aging process in
individuals of advanced age. The 47 study participants had not
suffered from accidents, illnesses, severe emotional or personality
problems, or environmental difficulties that might have led to
premature aging, but 20 participants showed evidence of asymptomatic
subclinical disease. This group represented the typical or "average"
healthy aged individual with minimal degrees of physical
pathology. Five years later, in 1962, a follow-up study was conducted
with 29 of the 39 men still alive. The second follow-up, done in 1968,
involved 19 of the surviving 23 men. The data are arranged in files by
year: 1957, 1962, and 1968. Included are psychiatric data and medical
evaluative data as well as various psychological and medical test
scores (e.g., psychometric data, electroencephalographic data,
audiological test data, responses to the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory (MMPI), Rorschach test results, personality test
results, Inflund Selective Recall Test results, audiometric conduction
findings, clinical psychology ratings, cerebral blood flow, and
metabolism studies), and biographical and demographic data.

Migrancy, Masculinity, and Preventing HIV in Tajik Male Migrant Workers (ICPSR 35840)
Released/updated on: 2015-05-01
Geographic coverage: Tajikistan, Russia
This project collects a survey of Tajik married male migrants in Moscow (N=400), ethnographic interviews and observations of the Tajik migrants in Moscow (N=40), their wives/regular female partners in Tajikistan (N=40) and Moscow (N=~30), sex workers in Moscow (N=30), and service providers (N=40) in organizations that are involved with migrants in Tajikistan and Moscow. Data focus on the social, cultural, and psychological factors shaping masculinity; how masculine norms impact male migrants' HIV risk and preventive behaviors; and how HIV prevention skills can be enhanced among this population in the context of their lives and the organizations that work with them.

Multiple Sexual Partnering and HIV Risks Among Low Income Heterosexual Black Men (ICPSR 35847)
Released/updated on: 2015-05-01
Geographic coverage: United States
The project employs omnibus ethnographic methodology to investigate sexual behavior which commonly occurs among inner-city, low income heterosexual black males who have multiple sex partners. This involves conducting four focus groups during each of two years (N=96). Ethnographers write field notes based on observations of subjects in households and community settings. Focal subjects (N=125) with multiple sex partners are interviewed in depth and re-interviewed.
