ABOUT THE COLLABORATIVE
WHAT IS THE POP*HI COLLABORATIVE?
We are a transdisciplinary team of health equity researchers primarily investigating LGBTQ+ health through a population health and intersectionality lens. Our research is centered on the understanding that racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other structures of oppression diminish the health of people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals through structural mechanisms of inequality, discrimination, stigmatization, and minority stress.
WHAT IS POPULATION HEALTH?
Population health refers to "the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribuiton of such outcomes, patterns of health determinants, and policies and interventions that link these two" (Kindig and Stoddart 2003)
WHAT IS INTERSECTIONALITY?
"Intersectionality is foremost about attention to power. In essence, if interlocking oppression and discrimination such as racism, sexism, heterosexism, cisgenderism, classism, and ableism and audism are not the primary focus of your intersectionality work, you’re not doing intersectionality." (Intersectionality Training Institute)
