Dr. Balsam will speak on her research on the psychological and health consequences of social oppression among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adults. Currently she is working to operationalize and assess minority stress and resilience in LGBT populations. Drawing upon qualitative interviews and focus groups with ethnically diverse LGBT adults in urban and rural Washington State, she has developed and piloted questionnaire measures of these constructs. Her prior research has included studies of mental health among LGBT adults, trauma and victimization experienced by LGBT people over the lifespan, same-sex couples and families, LGBT veterans of the U.S. armed forces, and incarcerated women.
