Hello, My name is J Scott Siri and I am doing a study with NJIT's Social Interaction Lab related to how Alternate Accounts are utilized and affect portrayal of identity on Reddit. Speaking that this is a study on identity, a representative spread of participants is ideal for it.

If anybody has 15-25 minutes to spare for an interview (and 2 or more Reddit accounts they've used in the past 6 months for reasons other than just changing a name because of dislike for the name itself), please shoot me a message.

I am looking for Black men,18+ and live in the UK to complete a 15 min questionnaire. I'm also giving away 3 £50 Amazon vouchers!

I'm currently doing my Masters in Psychology working on research around social stress and its link to mental health outcomes, particularly at the intersection of race and sexuality.

Mental health is something a lot of men stay silent on, especially black men so help the cause by taking this survey!

Hi guys. I'm looking for advice for my husband, who's been struggling with his facial hair since he was a teenager. He has really kinky and quite coarse facial hair and it seems to be a problem no matter what he does with it. If he shaves, he gets ingrown hair, if he grows it out, same problem. His chin, cheeks and neck are scarred from years of struggling with this issue. He's got mild acne as well, so I think that contributes to the problems a little bit.

He shaves dry with an electric razor: he's never tried shaving cream/water on the advice of all the men in his family. As far as products go, he's only ever used Neutrogena cleanser -he's pretty low maintenance when it comes to his skin care regimen, if you can call it that.

Just wondering if anyone could provide some product recommendations or other tips for this problem. He's thinking about going to a dermatologist, but I'm a bit worried that they might not know how to deal with his issue effectively if they aren't black.

Thanks so much!

Hi /r/100BlackMen!

I just want to post a quick update on the research recruitment study that we posted here!

Since posting the study, we've had over 800 men participate in the survey, some of them from this sub! That is an amazing turnout! It truly brings me great happiness that men and parenting is getting a huge amount of attention!

We are still short of our target number in our attempts to study how to support fathers and their children and spouse. If you or if you know any dads that fit the criteria, please consider taking or forwarding the study!

Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/100BlackMen/comments/6mx4qi/dads_we_need_your_thoughts_on_parenting_please/

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or comment below. I'll try my best to get back to you!

Hello!

My name is David Nguyen and I am a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology program at Lehigh University, completing my dissertation on men and parenting, under the guidance of Dr. Christopher Liang. This online survey should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to complete and has been approved by Lehigh University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB Protocol #1005276-3).

You are eligible to participate in this study if:

(1) You are at least 18 years of age or older.

(2) You identify as a heterosexual male.

(3) Your oldest child is between the ages of 5 to 12 years of age.

(4) You are living with your oldest child

(5) You are not single or widowed

It is our hope that participating in this study will allow you to reflect on your experiences as a father for your children. This study may help us understand what motivates men to be a parent and what services can be provided to help men be a parent.

If you agree to participate in this study, you will be routed to an online survey consisting of several measures varying in length. Total expected completion time is approximately 20-25 minutes.

Additionally, you will be able to designate one dollar ($1) to one of selected charities that help children or support men in parenting their children.

Feel free to forward this call to other eligible individuals. I would like to thank you again for your time and consideration.

Hey everyone, hope you're all well!

I'll get straight to the point; my husband is struggling with high blood pressure. Medication does little for him, has a lot of side effects and the doctors haven't even mentioned lifestyle changes.

I'm not sure why, my only guess is that the previous doctor who started his treatment didn't give his heritage special consideration because we're in the Netherlands and it was a relatively young Caucasian male doctor. Though our current doctor is an Indian-descent woman, she's sort of continuing down the path of the first doctor; changing meds, trying to find some that help the most with the least side effects.

I would like to learn more about what I can do to improve my husband's health e.g. diet and exercise, but I'm having trouble finding good resources on the subject. As I know a lot of African American men struggle with hypertension I thought this might be a good place to reach out and ask for help. I would really appreciate it if people had any tips for books, sites, studies or on-line support groups on the subject.

Thank you for reading!
