Integrating qualitative research methods: Culture in personal health decision-making. NIH Basic Social and Behavioral Research on Culture, Health, and Wellbeing (R24; RFA-LM-12-002).

CURRENT RESEARCH Few-Demo, A. L., & Wilkins, E. (2013- 2014). The purpose of this qualitative pilot study is to examine how culture and sexual scripts intersect in such a way as to foster behaviors that render some African American women vulnerable to acquiring HIV in their intimate relationships with men. We are particularly interested in how community programming can assist African American women in deconstructing internalized racist and sexist discourses that undermine their self-esteem and agency in sexual relationships. Few-Demo, A. L., Allen, K., Kaestle, C. (2011-2014). This qualitative study involves collecting and analyzing narratives from diverse college students about their perceptions of their own sexuality, sexual scripts, and gender roles in intimate and family relationships. The aim is to gain insight into the developmental trajectories and decision-making processes of emerging adults in regard to how they enact gender roles and perceive their sexual health, parent-child communication about social aggression, social aggression in dating relationships, and mate selection.
