Welcome!

The Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Health Behaviors Lab, led by Dr. Sarah Ehlke, seeks to improve the health and wellbeing of SGM people. We examine reasons for substance use, primarily alcohol, nicotine/tobacco, and cannabis, among SGM populations. Most recently, our work focuses on young adult sexual minority women, and specifically bisexual+ (bisexual, pansexual, etc.) women. Our work aims to inform substance use and mental health intervention and prevention programs to promote health equity among these individuals.
