Our new study shows effects of the Keep It Up! digitial HIV prevention program on increasing #PrEP use, that it is cost-saving, and compares strategies for implementation. It is free to access now! link.springer.com/article/10…

Introducing the Impact Institute (@Impact_NU), formerly known as the Institute for Sexual and General Minority Health and Wellbeing (ISGMH)!
The name Impact Institute is a nod to one of our first programs researching the health of #LGBTQ populations.

As WorldPride is underway this weekend in Washington, D.C., a rally and march are planned for Sunday to protest the Trump administration's actions affecting the LGBTQ+ community, such as cutting funding for health research. Many researchers in areas like gender affirming care and HIV/AIDS have lost federal grants.
@AliRogin sat down with @Mustanski, director of the Impact Institute for LGBTQ health research, to learn more.
On @pbsnewshour now discussing federal cuts to critical #LGBTQhealth research grants that use scientific methods to help improve the health of not just the 10% of Americans in this group but findings benefit all. youtu.be/S57q8-MPQrw

Congratulations to @NUFeinbergMSS faculty @AmeliaVanPelt, PhD, MPH and team on publishing this paper that uses the innovation tournament methodology to crowdsource ideas for implementation of long-acting PrEP in sexual minority men in Chicago! Read now: shorturl.at/suO5p

This was a fun project! Our team ran an innovation tournament to crowdsource ideas for injectable PrEP in Chicago. #impsci

How can implementation science accelerate progress toward ending the HIV epidemic? A new JAIDS supplemental issue provides insight by summarizing HIV implementation knowledge from 120 EHE projects and identifying next steps to advance interventions. tinyurl.com/4jb2fmbt

Conversion therapy was significantly associated with several adverse cardiovascular health outcomes, such as increased BP. 🩸
Hear why @Mustanski says #clinicians should discourage patients from “pursuing these discredited practices”:

Supreme Court has decided to hear a case challenging local and state laws banning so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ youth. Our new study in @JAMANetworkOpen is first to show these discredited practices increase risk for later heart disease. Free: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
In our cohort study of 703 LGBTQ young adults 10.2% were exposed to these practices, typically around the time of puberty. Exposure was associated with later elevated blood pressure, increased systemic inflammation, and higher odds of self-reported hypertension diagnosis.

Kudos to Maria Pyra, PhD, MPH, Med, and the entire @ISGMH team for their work on the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (JAIDS) Supplemental Issue: Progress and Priorities to End the HIV Epidemic by 2030. Read more: shorturl.at/115xo

"We are on the precipice of being able to end HIV in our country," ISGMH's @Mustanski tells @axios.
"We have the tools to solve it, ... but if we back off that, if we take our foot off the pedal, we will have more #HIV cases in the United States."

Last weeks have been dizzying as the fed canceled nearly all our @ISGMH NIH funded research 2 improve implementation of health services, health of young gay/bi/lesbian men & women, trans health in HIV, mental health, cancer, cardio disease, drug use, etc. How can you help? 🧵
🩹 If you are connected to a foundation that might offer emergency support please reach out to me. Please invest in us to keep reporting on the health needs of the LGBTQ community and scientifically backed solutions.
🩹 Spread the word about what is going on. Share this post and others from amazing #LGBTQhealth researchers that are suffering the devastating closure of an entire field of critical science.
What a treat to get to collaborate with this great team helping review how #ImpSci can help inform mental health services.
Collaborating with this incredible team was a joy and I am very proud of this contribution to the literature. This review includes many of the exceptional #impsci colleagues @NorthwesternMed 💜
