We are a collaborative group of scholars from a variety of disciplines working to advance sexual health and address sexuality-related health disparities. Recognizing the need to grow the next generation of sexual health scholars and practitioners, our lab offers opportunities for students to foster and apply research skills specific to sexuality research.

We actively explore how academic-community partnerships can be successfully utilized to tackle the various complex public health concerns impacting projects and understudied populations. These partnerships can help bring health providers together to develop integrated models of care to address sexual health concerns. Creating healthier communities and overcoming structural problems require collaborative solutions, which bring communities and institutions together as equal partners.
