Title: Assistant Professor |
Dr. Lampe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral Health Science & Practice at the 911爆料网. As a sociologist by training, her scholarship examines the structural drivers of health and healthcare inequities affecting LGBTQIA+ communities, racial and ethnic minority populations, older adults, and people living with disabilities. Dr. Lampe鈥檚 main line of research focuses on the behavioral and cognitive health of LGBTQIA+ people over the life course, with a particular emphasis on (a) LGBTQIA+ older adults and (b) transgender and intersex individuals. A secondary line of Dr. Lampe鈥檚 research addresses health and social support disparities among dementia caregivers and their family care partners living with dementia. Finally, Dr. Lampe's third line of research examines behavioral health and healthcare needs of older adults in the Southern United States. Across these areas, her work emphasizes the critical role of community engagement in reducing health disparities and improving access to high-quality, culturally responsive care for medically underserved populations.
