Evaluate associations between racialized and homophobia-based police harassment (RHBPH) and healthcare distrust and utilization among Black Sexual Minority Men (BSMM).
We utilized data from a longitudinal cohort study from HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 061 with baseline, six and 12 month follow-up assessments. Using multivariable analysis, we evaluated associations between RHBPH and healthcare distrust and utilization reported at the 6 and 12 month visits.
Of 1553 BSMM present at baseline, 1160 were available at six-month follow-up. In multivariable analysis, increasing frequency of RHBPH was associated with increasing levels of distrust in healthcare providers (aOR 1.31, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.74) and missing 50% or more of healthcare visits at six-month follow-up (aOR 1.93, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.43).
Recent experiences of RHBPH are associated with reduced trust in and access to healthcare among BSMM, with more frequent RHBPH associated with greater vulnerability.
评估基于种族和恐同的警察骚扰（RHBPH）与黑人性少数群体男性（BSMM）对医疗保健的不信任和利用之间的关联。
我们利用来自 HIV 预防试验网络（HPTN）061 的纵向队列研究的数据，该研究有基线、6 个月和 12 个月的随访评估。使用多变量分析，我们评估了 RHBPH 与在 6 个月和 12 个月就诊时报告的医疗保健不信任和利用之间的关联。
在基线时存在的 1553 名 BSMM 中，有 1160 名在 6 个月的随访中可用。在多变量分析中，RHBPH 频率的增加与对医疗保健提供者的不信任程度增加相关（aOR 1.31，95%CI：1.00，1.74），以及在 6 个月的随访中错过 50%或更多的医疗保健就诊（aOR 1.93，95%CI：1.09，3.43）。
最近经历 RHBPH 与 BSMM 对医疗保健的信任度降低和获得医疗保健的机会减少有关，RHBPH 越频繁，脆弱性越大。
