Oral | ||||
| ||||
| This session will explore the theoretical concepts of sexual market, hierarchies of power, masculine ideologies and sexual-gender scripts. It will examine how the experience of various migrant groups influences sexual risk and protection - with an imphasis on risk of HIV. Panelists articulate how information on sexual behavior and sexual risk that is specific to various immigrant groups is needed if effective healthcare interventions are to be implemented and if health promotion policy is to be adequately informed. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe immigrant trends in the US and ways that migration experience affects health risk and sexual health 2. Define how issues of migration, social context and masculinity translate into sexual risk. 3. Analyze the relationship between pre-immigrant context and health risk 3. Articulate an individual-level and a structural intervention that might alter patterns of risk | ||||
