There is a dearth of research on incarceration among young Black sexual minority men (SMM). The current study aimed to assess the prevalence and association between unmet socioeconomic and structural needs and history of incarceration among young Black SMM. Between 2009 and 2015, young Black SMM (N = 1,774) in Dallas and Houston Texas were recruited to participate in an annual, venue-based, cross-sectional survey. We found that 26% of the sample reported any lifetime history of incarceration. Additionally, participants with unmet socioeconomic and structural needs (unemployment, homelessness, financial insecurity and limited educational attainment) were more likely to have a history of incarceration. It is imperative that interventions are developed to address the basic, social, and economic needs of young Black SMM with a history of incarceration or who are at risk for incarceration.
针对年轻的黑人性少数群体男性（SMM）被监禁的情况，研究还很少。本研究旨在评估未满足的社会经济和结构需求以及年轻的黑人 SMM 被监禁的历史之间的普遍性和关联。2009 年至 2015 年间，在德克萨斯州达拉斯和休斯顿，招募了年轻的黑人 SMM（N=1774）参加年度基于场地的横断面调查。我们发现，该样本中有 26%的人报告了一生中任何时候的监禁经历。此外，未满足社会经济和结构需求（失业、无家可归、经济不安全和教育程度有限）的参与者更有可能有被监禁的历史。至关重要的是，需要制定干预措施来解决有监禁历史或有被监禁风险的年轻黑人 SMM 的基本、社会和经济需求。
