You and Me is a study underway in San Francisco and New York City exploring how culture, masculinity, and homophobia play into gay men's relationships and their sexual health.
The work is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, and is a collaborative effort among researchers at San Francisco State University's Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality and Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Colleen Hoff (SF) and Co-Investigator, Dr. Patrick Wilson (NYC).
You & Me's goal is to better understand the relationship dynamics and the contextual factors that shape them in order to develop interventions to improve the sexual health of men in same-sex relationships. Little health research has focused on same-sex couples, and even fewer studies have included Black and interracial couples. Talking with couples will allow us to better understand the relationship context that men must negotiate as they make decisions that affect their sexual health.
