Important sociostructural factors, including sexual networks and race-based discrimination, were poorly represented. Data on health care delivery/receipt and health insurance were underrepresented tobacco use and substance abuse were seldom addressed. Few articles included content on psychosocial functioning, including bullying/harassment, suicide, and racial/ethnic identity. Out of 54 articles, most were published after 2004 ( N = 49 90.7%) and addressed some aspect of sexual health ( N = 50 92.6%). A coding sheet was created to collect information on all content areas and related subtopics and computed descriptive statistics. An extensive literature review and content analysis of health-related peer-reviewed articles (1988-2013) was conducted that targeted Black YGBMSM, examining five content areas: sexual health, health care, substance use, psychosocial functioning, and sociostructural factors. Black young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (YGBMSM) are at high risk for negative health outcomes, though this population is underrepresented in the health literature.
