The purpose of this dissertation was to identify the distinct risk and protective factors that are associated with psychological distress among Black MSMW. Black MSMW encounter a host of stressors in their daily lives that impact their mental and physical health, including HIV prevention and HIV care engagement. Through three studies, the dissertation aimed to address critical gaps in knowledge about the relationships among stress exposure, health and sexual risk factors, social and personal resources, and sociodemographic and individuals-level factors that shape psychological distress among Black MSMW.
