Health Disparities in Stigmatized Communities: A Look at the Evidence on the Relationship Between Multidimensional Stigma and Health Outcomes and Interventions in the Sexual and Gender Minority Community

On this episode of the E4E podcast, we catch up with Dr. Eric K. Layland, an assistant professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Delaware. Eric works in LGBTQ+ developmental research, bridging his research to community impact through developmentally-informed, affirmative interventions. Eric’s specific research areas of interest include LGBTQ+ within-group differences in mental health and unhealthy substance use, the impact of stigma on LGBTQ+ development, strengths-based approaches to LGBTQ+ health, and LGBTQ+ affirmative interventions. Eric will be discussing some of his research in multidimensional stigma amongst sexual minority men of color, as well as the impact of intersecting sources of stigma in the sexual and gender minority community.
