Research Presentation with Dr. Shufang Sun

Structural stigma, discrimination, and early life stress disproportionately affect historically marginalized populations, such as sexual and gender minorities and racial and ethnic minorities, and adversely impact their mental health and other health outcomes. However, prevention and intervention research that attends to the experiences and responds the needs of these communities has been lagging behind.
Utilizing an acceptance-based approach and internet/mobile delivery, Dr. Sun and her team have been engaging with underserved communities in the U.S. and in low-and-middle-income country settings to address challenges related to mental health, HIV, and eating behaviors.
In this talk, Dr. Sun will share lessons learned from this work, preliminary findings, and plans and implications for future research.
