David Huebner

David Huebner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Prevention and Community Health at the Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University. His research focuses on LGBTQ+ health disparities, family dynamics, and HIV prevention interventions, particularly among sexual minority populations. He has pioneered studies on parental responses to LGBTQ+ youth, minority stress, and the intersection of race, gender, and sexual orientation with health outcomes.

Key research interests include adolescent sexual health, psychosocial impacts of discrimination, and equity-focused academic-community partnerships. His work addresses disparities in HIV/AIDS care, mental health, and substance use among marginalized groups such as Black sexual minority men and Latinx youth. Dr. Huebner’s interventions aim to strengthen family support systems and reduce structural barriers to healthcare access.

His articles reflect a commitment to understanding how systemic discrimination and interpersonal relationships shape health behaviors. Recent studies examine the mental health implications of the pandemic for HIV-positive individuals, the role of incarceration history in health inequities, and the efficacy of parent-focused HIV prevention programs for young men who have sex with men (YMSM).
