| Research lines per researcher: | Promotion of Sexual Health in Incarcerated Populations, Assessment of Sexual Health in School Settings, Assessment and Intervention to Promote Condom Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM), Assessment of Quality of Life and Sexual Behavior in HIV-Positive Populations, Design of Self-Paced Online Courses in Research and Health Psychology. |
Research is primarily focused on promoting sexual health in various high-risk contexts, including incarcerated populations, men who have sex with men, people living with HIV, students at any educational level, among others. This involves conducting diagnostic evaluations, sometimes utilizing validated instruments and other times designing and validating new ones. Based on these evaluations, interventions are designed primarily to promote sexual health through condom use. These interventions are delivered through in-person and virtual methods to assess their effectiveness. Additionally, the laboratory develops various self-paced online courses in two major areas: research and sexual health. In the research domain, courses on instrument validation have been developed, while in the sexual health domain, courses on health models applied to sexual health, quality of life, and adherence to treatment in people with HIV have been created.

| Entry profile of potential thesis students: | Psychology students from the on-campus and distance education systems, starting from the seventh semester onwards, should have initiative and an interest in research, particularly in sexual health or distance education. In some projects, there is a possibility of a scholarship, so in those cases, being a regular student with a GPA of 8 or higher is required. |
