Drawing on a social integration and intersectionality framework, this study advances a of the mechanisms that enable differential patterns of within-group social integration and segregation among Black sexual and gender minorities (BSGM). Specifically, in a cohort of BSGM (18-35 years of age, = 340) participating in a community-based network intervention for HIV prevention, we examine how sexual, gender, age, and HIV status diversities contribute to friendship formation and maintenance patterns over the 12-month study enrollment period. We found attenuated social integration (or social activity) among non-gay-identified and older BSGM and evidence of social segregation (or homophily) on the basis sexual identity and age similarities. Accounting for the moderating effects of the intervention revealed that the attenuated integration of non-gay-identified and older BSGM were stronger for participants who received the peer leadership training and integration challenges were also found for transgender BSGM who received the peer leadership training. Meanwhile, BSGM living with HIV who received the peer leadership training were significantly more integrated than their counterparts in the control arm. These findings help us understand the complicated social fabric among BSGM and the dynamics that interventions for this community may have to contend with or alter.
本研究借鉴社会融合与交叉性框架,深入探讨了促使黑人性少数群体和性别少数群体(BSGM)内部出现不同社会融合与隔离模式的机制。具体而言,在一个参与基于社区的艾滋病毒预防网络干预的BSGM队列(年龄在18至35岁之间,n = 340)中,我们研究了性取向、性别、年龄和艾滋病毒感染状况的多样性如何在为期12个月的研究招募期内影响友谊的形成和维持模式。我们发现,未认同同性恋身份的年长BSGM的社会融合(或社交活动)有所减弱,并且存在基于性取向和年龄相似性的社会隔离(或同质性)迹象。考虑到干预措施的调节作用后发现,对于接受同伴领导力培训的参与者,未认同同性恋身份的年长BSGM的融合减弱更为明显,而且接受同伴领导力培训的跨性别BSGM也面临社会融合挑战。与此同时,接受同伴领导力培训的感染艾滋病毒的BSGM比对照组的同龄人融入程度显著更高。这些发现有助于我们理解BSGM群体内部复杂的社会结构,以及针对该群体的干预措施可能需要应对或改变的动态情况。
