First coffee of the #APA2024 conference? Jose Bauermeister at Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative! a.k.a. one of Violet’s biggest supporters!!! So grateful for the research work we’ve gotten to do proving out that culturally competent care *is* good care. And, of course, had to give him a shoutout during our American Psychological Association panel when we were asked how we ensure our digital health research is credible and rigorous. To more amazing health equity collabs! #Psychology #Healthtech #Startups #HealthEquity

At Eidos, we specialize in creating meaningful connections! 🤝 This semester, we connected LGBTQ+ Founder Ashlie Grilz with Penn Integrated Product Design students to develop a playbook on gender-neutral clothing for retailers and brands. These collaborations give Penn students real client experience while offering professionals like Ashlie innovative ideas. Have an LGBTQ+ health project that needs fresh perspectives? Reach out today to explore the possibilities! ➡️ penneidos.org Thanks to Senior Innovation Manager Julia Votto and graduate students Ifeade Adedokun, Ankita Diwan, Eileen (Yilin) Feng, & Shivani Toshniwal.

Our latest research, in collaboration with Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, reveals that easy #HealthcareNavigation reduced the likelihood that LGBTQ+ members would avoid seeking healthcare. This underscores the vital role of tailored health care navigation in overcoming barriers and promoting inclusive, equitable health care.

In print today: "A Legacy of Cruelty to Sexual and Gender Minority Groups" (Read with no paywall here: https://lnkd.in/eaP9aAXv). This article really represents the past 10 years of my work in academic medicine trying to knit together this dark history as a teaching tool for today's medical students and physicians. It is too easy to point the finger at family or religion or politics as the places harming LGBTQ+ people but medicine has used scientific authority to bolster it all. We cannot begin to heal until we truly understand the problem. I am grateful to the New England Journal of Medicine for taking this important step in learning about their own part of this story. Who's next?
