Description
Marla Eisenberg, Sc.D., M.P.H. is an Associate Professor in the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Health in the Department of Pediatrics. Her research examines social influences on the health behaviors of adolescents and young adults, with a particular focus on LGBQ youth. Dr. Eisenberg’s presentation will describe findings from her team’s recent analysis of data from the Minnesota Student Survey, examining school environments, bullying involvement, emotional well-being and vulnerable youth. Findings suggest greater than expected involvement of LGBQ youth in bullying perpetration, prejudice-based bullying victimization, and characteristics of the school setting that are associated with bullying experience and emotional well-being. Reasons for unexpected findings and implications for prevention will be discussed.
