Sharing our paper that was a wonderful collaboration between our collaborating sites across VHA!

We found LGB+ Veterans needed greater support in health-related social needs of housing & managing experiences of discrimination, relative to straight vets.

Read our paper below!! We found that in sexual minority Veterans experienced higher need for support in housing and discrimination. We deepen the concept of “needing support” compared to solely identifying social risk. Because not all patients will want support for their needs.

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

In VA health care settings, LGB+ veterans were more likely than straight veterans to need support for housing issues and experiences of discrimination, according to this cross-sectional study. https://t.co/5QHOf3iY6U

🚨NEW PAPER🚨We reflect on LGBTQ+ health, policy, and politics for @JHPPL 50th anniversary!!
"While many LGBTQ+ people remain afraid, the past 50 years teaches us that fear is not enough to silence the LGBTQ+ community."

[Shane Lamba, MPH @ShaneLamba]

Amid challenges we will persevere, WE ARE QUEER AND WE ARE HERE!!

[Shane Lamba, MPH @ShaneLamba]

So happy we have another publication coming out about health related social needs among LGB+ veterans, stay tuned!!

Happy Sunday

Personal milestone. 500 citations.

I was once told I would never be a published author by a white professor in my first year of my PhD program. It was a good thing that I never let anyone define who I am.

Grateful for those that have supported me and considered my work.
