Todd Coleman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University. His research focuses on epidemiology, biostatistics, and population health with a strong emphasis on LGBTQ+ health, HIV/AIDS, and healthcare equity. He investigates intersectional health disparities affecting sexual and gender minorities, particularly transgender individuals, non-binary people, and LGBTQ+ refugees.
His work addresses community-based solutions to mental health challenges, healthcare access barriers, and social determinants of health. Notable research includes studying the protective effects of community inclusion on transgender mental health, the mental health needs of SOGIE refugees, and HIV-related risk behaviors among men who have sex with men. Coleman also explores the impact of minority stressors and social provisions on suicidal ideation in LGBTQ+ populations.
He has been actively involved in the OutLook Study assessing healthcare experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in primary care settings. His research often employs mixed-methods approaches, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to better understand complex health dynamics. Coleman’s work has informed public health policy recommendations regarding stigma reduction and inclusive healthcare practices.
He is fluent in English and French and currently on sabbatical leave until 2025. His office is located at BA540 in Bricker Academic Building, though appointments are required for meetings.
