Tool Box: "Methamphetamine on the Brain (Part 1)"
This is the first in a two-part series focusing on the use of crystal meth by gay and bisexual men in the U.S., where the problem is most acute and growing. Part 1 offers a medical and psychiatric overview of meth use and explores the physiological and psychological factors underlying sexual risk among users.
Tool Box: "Out of Africa: Addressing HIV in Sub-Saharan Immigrant Populations"
While the few American and European studies involving sub-Saharan immigrants to the West at risk for or living with HIV are both interesting and provocative, the studies that, perhaps, have the greatest potential to inform the work of mental health professionals serving these populations come from Africa itself.
