Multidisciplinary cystic fibrosis (CF) clinicians perceive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for males with cystic fibrosis (MwCF) as important, yet they report suboptimal SRH discussions. The majority believe the CF team should have the primary role in SRH discussion and provision for MwCF. Pediatric clinicians report significantly less comfort and skill in discussing and managing male SRH. Identified barriers and facilitators should be used to improve SRH care for MwCF.

While research on perpetration of IPV is growing, few studies have sought to explore perpetrators' perspectives on their abusive behaviors. Thus, Dr. Judy Chang and her team conducted semistructured, open-ended interviews with men convicted of an IPV crime where they broadly explored their perspectives on contributors to abuse. These findings highlight areas where intervention efforts need to be tailored to address the unmet needs of men who perpetrate.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) clinicians perceive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for men with CF as important but report low SRH discussions. With a total of 297 clinicians completing Dr. Kazmerski's survey (41% pediatric, 36% adult, 23% both; 27% physicians, 24% social workers, 11% nurses, 41% other), nearly all (98%) believed the CF team had a role in SRH care with 75 % believing they should be primarily responsible.

In Dr. Sonya Borrero's recent study, men who showed less accurate knowledge and who were interested in vasectomy point to the need for increased awareness and education so men have the information they need to meet their reproductive goals and contribute greater involvement in family planning.

Dr. Mehret Birru Talabi and Olivia Stansky explored family planning, parenting, and sexual and reproductive health care needs and experiences of men with rheumatic diseases.

Men with cystic fibrosis (CF) acknowledge the need for comprehensive CF care that includes sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Men with CF value early, stepwise, provider-initiated SRH conversations, especially around infertility concerns, counseling and care, increased life expectancy, and the need for peer support.

Dr. Lindsay Sabik looked at Medicaid's role in reducing the burden of cancer in men with HIV as well as the need for improvement in the accessibility and affordability of care, continuous insurance coverage, and reducing the financial burden of cancer treatment.
