This research area investigates the health and well-being of sexual and gender minority populations. Studies examine health disparities, access to care, and the impact of social determinants on health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals. Methodologies include quantitative analysis of health data, qualitative interviews exploring lived experiences, and community-based participatory research. Specific areas of focus include mental health, sexual health, healthcare discrimination, and the intersectionality of sexual and gender identity with other demographic factors such as race and ethnicity.

Research in this area is particularly relevant to Arkansas's public health landscape, addressing disparities in healthcare access and outcomes that may disproportionately affect sexual and gender minorities within the state. Understanding these specific challenges can inform the development of more inclusive healthcare policies and community support services tailored to Arkansas's diverse population.

This work draws on expertise from fields such as health disparities, family practice, racial and ethnic identity research, and primary care. Engagement extends across multiple institutions within Arkansas, fostering a collaborative environment for addressing these important issues.
