Marla Eisenberg, Sc.D., M.P.H. presents: Project RESPEQT: Research and Education on Supportive and Protective Environments for Queer Teens. A Tale of Three Studies.
Update: 2015-12-16
Description
Dr. Eisenberg will provide an overview of Project RESPEQT, a three-part mixed-methods study of protective factors in the lives of LGBTQ adolescents in North America. The first phase of this study included qualitative interviews using a uniquely suited "go-along" interview method with 66 participants ages 14-19 in Minnesota, Massachusetts and British Columbia. The novel method and preliminary findings regarding LGBTQ adolescents' views of resources and supports in their communities will be discussed. The second phase, currently in development, involves creating an instrument and collecting spatial and environmental data to assess LGBTQ-climate scores for 120 different communities within the three study locations.
Dr. Eisenberg will share updates (and welcome input) on this "work in progress." The third phase of the study is planned for 2016/2017, and will involve pairing extensive student survey data from LGBQ youth with community-level data in the 120 communities, to test hypotheses regarding living in a more supportive setting; and substance use, mental health and high risk sexual behaviors in this population. Plans for this upcoming analysis will be described.
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.
