Bio
I am a sexual and gender minority (SGM) health researcher with a focus on health equity and research involving understudied populations. My focus as an emerging independent SGM health investigator has been to characterize the epidemiology of chronic physical health conditions (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), kidney disease, and HIV) across the life course among diverse SGM populations. I also study the incidence and management of non-communicable chronic health conditions among people living with HIV. Lastly, I investigate how SGM stigma affects healthcare quality, chronic condition management, and health outcomes among SGM vs. non-SGM populations.
My publishing history emphasizes my commitment to using a variety of data and methods to understand and explain disparities in SGM vs. non-SGM population health using an intersectional lens. As detailed below in my contributions to science, I have published analyses within YRBS that demonstrate adolescent sexual minorities may be more at risk for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease than their sex-matched heterosexual counterparts. I also showed in BRFSS that adult gay and bisexual men have a higher prevalence of diabetes than heterosexual men. Furthermore, to determine the context, pathways, and mechanisms driving these disparities, I have designed and undertaken studies to test empirically how anti-SGM stigma at multiple levels contributes to poor SGM health and health disparities. These studies have been informed by minority stress theory, intersectionality theory, and socioecological theory, and so have focused on investigating on how minority stress may contribute both dependently and independently to the burden of traditional psychosocial, behavioral, and clinical non-communicable disease risk factors among diverse SGM populations.
In addition to my academic leadership and research expertise, I have a strong history of community partnership and advocacy. Since 2002, I have served on the board of directors of five SGM non-profit organizations, most notably serving on the board of directors and ultimately as President of the Bisexual Organizing Project in Minneapolis, MN from 2009 to 2014. Since moving to Chicago 18 months ago, I co-founded the Chicago Bisexual Health Task Force (CBHTF). The relationships I have cultivated through these efforts helped me facilitate the development of the SGM community-research partnerships. Underlying all of my work is a lifelong commitment to work toward a larger objective of promoting health equity and improving healthcare quality for SGM people through research, education, and community engagement.
