NASHVILLE, Tenn. In 2012, the Meharry Youth Health and Wellness Center received a grant from the Baptist Healing Trust to provide health services for young men who have sex with men, with a special focus on young African American men. In order to fulfill this mission, a partnership was formed with Nashville CARES and StreetWorks, Project ONO and a team of researchers to learn from young men what they would like to have in a health home. Findings from a series of focus groups will be presented.
