Welcome to the 2SLGBTQ+ Youth Health and Homelessness Research Lab
What we do
The 2SLGBTQ+ Youth Health and Homelessness Research Lab, led by Dr. Alex Abramovich, applies community-based, action-oriented, mixed-methods research to investigate and address the health and social inequities and systemic and structural barriers to health, wellbeing, and housing experienced by 2SLGBTQ+ youth and young adults. We aim to provide evidence-informed recommendations for innovative solutions to prevent, reduce, and end 2SLGBTQ+ youth homelessness nationally and internationally. All of this has been made possible by the many young people and community partners who have taken the time to participate in our research and share their important perspectives, experiences, and knowledge over the years.
