Frequency and Consequences of Racial Microaggressions Predict Risky Sexual Behaviors in Bipoc Individuals

Poster Session I

Keyword: Racism and Discrimination

Abstract: Our research examined the strength of ethnic identity, racial discrimination experiences, racial microaggression experiences and consequences, and their relationship with lifetime risky sexual behaviors in BIPOC adults. Results indicate that more experiences of microaggressions that suggest criminality, sexualization, and low-achieving culture predicted more risky sexual behaviors.
