The specific aim of this study is to conduct a preliminary assessment of the association between measures of economic context and material well-being on the one hand, and positive and negative psychological wellbeing on the other.
It is well established that HIV-positive persons who use stimulants such as methamphetamine are at increased risk for transmitting medication-resistant strains HIV. Mental health co-morbidities such as symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and HIV-specific traumatic stress may substantially contribute to increased stimulant use among HIV-positive persons.
This study will utilize data from the Urban Men’s Health Study 2002, a probability-based survey of 879 men who have sex with men (MSM) in San Francisco. These data provide a unique, cost-effective opportunity to examine psychological correlates of stimulant use among MSM who were recruited through probability-based sampling methods.
