Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Laura J Mintz"
- Laura J Mintz's recent research primarily focuses on healthcare disparities experienced by sexual and gender minority populations, particularly older LGBT individuals and transgender/gender-diverse adults, highlighting both their healthcare challenges and the systemic barriers they face in accessing respectful and adequate health services.
- Her studies utilize a variety of methodologies, including community-based system dynamics and cross-sectional surveys, to analyze complex healthcare issues such as the cancer burden among women and men living with HIV on Medicaid, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in sexual and gender minority communities.
- Mintz emphasizes the necessity of integrating sexual history taking in clinical practice as a means to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of care provided to marginalized groups, particularly in the face of the pandemic's disproportionate effects on these populations.
