• Description:
  Sexual and gender minorities (SGM), including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+), communities, continue to face profound health disparities in the United States and globally. Although the terms SGM and LGBTQ+ are used as umbrella terms, the populations they describe are highly diverse. Currently, SGM persons are increasingly open and visible in the United States and many other parts of the world, and a modest body of knowledge on the health and well-being of some SGM subgroups currently exists. However, significant gaps exist in the emerging knowledge base, and there remains a profound need to promote health equity and reduce disparities. I am committed to advancing health behavior research to promote health equity and reduce disparities using community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches. In this paper, based on the address I gave at the Scientific Meeting of the American Academy of Health Behavior (AAHB) on April 14, 2024, I describe what inspires me, a few things I have learned so far, and my future directions as I continue to partner with SGM communities to address health equity and reduce health disparities.
