The next Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods (PRCHN) Seminar Series event, Scott E. Moore and Dana M. Prince will present “Early Results, Opportunities, and Challenges in the Rainbow Connection Community & Collaboration Pilot.” Their discussion will be held May 12 at noon via Zoom.
Prince and Moore will provide an overview of their Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative Community and Collaboration pilot study and address the range of opportunities and challenges that they identified in the process. More specifically, they will discuss the benefits of engaging the sexual and gender minority community in all aspects of the research process and provide a few of their early insights from their data. Finally, they will discuss potential next steps for this work as they look toward publications and further funding mechanisms.
Register to attend the presentation.
About the presenters
Scott E. Moore is an assistant professor at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University. He earned his Master of Science in Nursing and doctorate from Clemson University, where he had pre-doctoral training support as a Patricia G. Archbold Pre-doctoral Scholar for the National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence (2014-16) and the Oliver Kent and Bettye C. Cecil Fellowship in Geriatrics and Genetics. He then completed a National Institute of Nursing Research-funded T32 postdoctoral fellowship at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing.
Moore’s program of research examines the influences of the complex dynamics among biological, psychosocial and systems factors (including sex, gender and minority identity-based differences) on quality of life and health outcomes among adults in marginalized populations. He is an expert in quantitative and mixed methods, behavioral economics and has extensive clinical and interventional experience working with vulnerable populations, including sexual and gender minorities.
Prior to joining the faculty at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, Dana M. Prince completed her NIDA-funded T32 postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale School of Medicine in 2016.
Prince has developed a robust program of health disparities research that focuses on the transition to adulthood for vulnerable and marginalized youth, most notably substance use, incarceration and homelessness, among adolescents and young adults transitioning from foster care.
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth involved in child welfare face additional risks. SGM is the NIH-designated definition for individuals who are a sexual minority (e.g. lesbian, gay, bisexual) and/or have a minority gender identity or expression (e.g. transgender, gender non-conforming). Prince’s federally funded research aims to understand the mental health and service needs of SGM child welfare-involved youth, and to develop and test multi-level interventions to promote optimal health and wellbeing.
