Jeremy Goldbach holds the Masters & Johnson Distinguished Professorship in Sexual Health and Education. His research program investigates minority stress impacts on LGBTQ+ youth, with continuous federal funding since 2012 from agencies including SAMHSA, NIH, and DoD.

Research Focus: Measurement and intervention development addressing minority stress, discrimination, and mental health/substance use disparities affecting sexual and gender minority adolescents. Work emphasizes understanding how intersecting identities shape health outcomes.

Recent publications demonstrate methodological diversity across biological (inflammatory biomarkers), psychological (family functioning measures), and community-level (policy impact studies) investigations. Core themes include resilience processes, identity development trajectories, and health disparities across the LGBTQ+ lifespan.

Policy Engagement: Actively translates research into policy advocacy through medical associations, contributing to resolutions on healthcare coverage equity and representation in clinical research.
