Research Interests & Projects
United for HIV Integration and Policy (UHIP)
Principal Investigator: Bauermeister, J.A.

We have formed an academic-community partnership that seeks to address structural and community barriers affecting Black and Latino young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the Detroit Metro Area (DMA) through media advocacy and policy recommendations.
Virtual Love Study
Principal Investigator: Bauermeister, J.A.
Sponsor: NIMH
We propose a study to explore why and how YMSM use the Internet to meet partners (i.e., "e-dates") and to describe the demographic characteristics and HIV/AIDS risks of these YMSM.
Michigan Smoking and Sexuality Study
Principal Investigator: Bauermeister, J.A.
Sponsor: University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center
Sexual minority female youths (SMF; i.e., women who identify their sexuality as lesbian, bisexual or something other (e.g., queer) than heterosexual) are more likely to smoke than their heterosexual counterparts. In this study, we examine the psychosocial correlates associated with SMF youths' smoking behaviors in order to inform the development of a tailored smoking cessation program.
