Welcome to the Social and Health Equity (S.H.E.) lab at UC Santa Barbara! Our team is committed to carrying out rigorous community-based research that addresses social and health disparities using an intersectionality framework. Our current projects are focused on examining the links between social stress, mental health, alcohol and substance use, and health behaviors among diverse sexual and gender minorities (SGM). We aim to center the voices of Black, Latinx and immigrant communities in SGM health research.
