Does Acculturative Stress Influence Immigrant Sexual HIV Risk and HIV Testing Behavior? Evidence from a Survey of Male Mexican Migrants.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveMigration is a structural factor that increases HIV vulnerability. Acculturative stress represents a possible mechanism through which migration may negatively impact HIV risk. This study investigated socio-ecological factors associated with acculturative stress levels and examined the association between acculturative stress and HIV-related behavior among Mexican im/migrants. METHODOLOGY: We used data from a probability survey of Mexican im/migrants (N = 1383) conducted in Tijuana, Mexico, in 2009-2010. The sample included migrants returning to Mexico via deportation or voluntarily after a recent stay in the USA. Linear regression models were estimated to identify individual, migration, and contextual factors independently associated with overall acculturative stress levels. Logistic regression models were used to test for associations between acculturative stress, sexual HIV risk, and HIV testing history behavior.
resultsWe found that levels of acculturative stress were significantly and independently related to socio-economic markers, acculturation level, legal residence status, and sexual minority status. The analyses also showed that acculturative stress was positively related to sexual HIV risk behavior and negatively related to recent HIV testing.
conclusionsThe results underscore that both individual and environmental factors contribute to levels of acculturative stress among Mexican im/migrants. In turn, acculturative stress may exacerbate sexual HIV risk and impede testing among this im/migrant population. Targeted interventions to prevent and decrease acculturative stress represent a potential strategy to reduce sexual HIV risk behavior and promote HIV testing among this vulnerable population of im/migrants in the USA.
