Welcome to Practice & Science for LGBTQ Health Equity! Our mission is to highlight interdisciplinary and translational research and practice dedicated to dedicated to eliminating health and cancer-related inequities in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. We aim to achieve our mission by connecting research with practice in order to (1) engage LGBT community members as experts, (2) identify multilevel determinants of health inequities in LGBTQ populations, (3) develop community-based, innovative, culturally congruent, evidence-based approaches to addressing disparities, and (4) reach scientific, practice, policy, and general audiences.
Who. What. Why.
PS: LGBTQ Health Equity represents the efforts of scientists and practitioners conducting LGBTQ health and cancer-related research and community-based practice at The Ohio State University. The program was created by Joanne G. Patterson, PhD, MPH, MSW – a T32 Cancer Prevention and Control Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
