BROWN BAG SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETING XIV: PREVENTION SCIENCE AND LGBTQ POPULATION HEALTH

Despite a robust and growing body of research highlighting sexual orientation and gender identity health disparities, there remains limited empirical knowledge on how to improve LGBTQ population health. In continuation of our conversation from the SPR 2017 conference, we will reconvene a group of prevention scholars working or interested in LGBTQ health and wellbeing, to discuss the current state of the literature and how prevention science research and implementation strategies could help to alleviate LGBTQ health disparities. The conversation generated at the 2018 meeting will be the basis for an eventual collaborative, interdisciplinary proposal for a special section of Prevention Science focused on LGBTQ health. Attendees will also brainstorm collaborative projects, to include a pre-conference workshop, for the 2019 SPR conference.
