Identity Development Of Adolescent Gay Black Males, Miles James Allen Crumley
Identity Development Of Adolescent Gay Black Males, Miles James Allen Crumley
Dissertations and Theses
During adolescence, self-identified gay black males may develop their identities differently than their gay white male counterparts.

While many of the developmental processes are similar to their white homosexual counterparts, some differences were noted regarding racism, objectification by the white gay community, and use of the internet to develop particular identities. A new theory using dynamic systems theory that includes many complexities …

African Americans also use health services less frequently than do European Americans and this underuse of services contributes to health disparities in the United States. Studies have shown that some disparities are present not as a result of poor access to care, but, to a certain extent, as a result of the experiences patients have at their doctors' offices. It is, therefore, essential to understand African American patients' perspectives and experiences with healthcare providers. Past studies have shown that four …
