Improving shared decision making for Asian American Pacific Islander sexual and gender minorities.
This study examined the challenges Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) sexual and gender minorities (SGM) encounter with shared decision making (SDM) with their providers, especially concerning mental health. Focus groups were conducted in San Francisco and interviews were conducted in Chicago and San Francisco. The participants were surveyed about attitudes towards SGM disclosure and preferences about providers. Many participants felt that providers either ignored or overemphasized their identities. Some shared the stigma of SGM identities and effects on mental health in their own families.

LGBT policy discourse and prevention of homophobic bullying.
This study analyzed the impact of public campaigns promoting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) stigma. It references an article by Hatzenbuehler, et al. that addressed that gap in the literature. That study found that after the passing of Proposition 8 in California, the rates of homophobic bullying increased between 2000 and 2008 when the voting occurred. Homophobic bullying also occurred more where there were “bathroom bills” and other policies promoting transgender discrimination. It also found that schools with Gay-Straight Alliances have both lower rates and less dramatic increases in homophobic bullying. The authors call for action for pediatricians as researchers and as advocates for their patients.

"Little tablets of gold": an examination of the psychological and social dimensions of PrEP among LGBTQ communities.
There are significant psychological, social, and cultural dimensions to the HIV epidemic in the United States, especially among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. Biomedical HIV treatment has been shown to impact these dimensions. However, there is little understanding of the real-world psychosocial and sociocultural effects of the latest biomedical HIV prevention strategy, HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This study explored the psychosocial and sociocultural dimensions of PrEP use among LGBTQ adults.
