This Project Grant award of $3,198,378 from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) will support a 4-year research project at Drexel University to develop, validate, and apply measures of state-level structural stigmatization and discrimination (SSD) for Latino/a/e ("Latine") and sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. The research aims to build consensus on the key domains and constructs needed to assess Latine and SGM SSD, develop and validate multidimensional indices of state-level Latine SSD and SGM SSD, and examine the relationships between SSD and HIV prevention and treatment outcomes among Latine SGM persons. The validated indices and underlying datasets will be made publicly available, along with consensus-based guidelines, to support health equity research across multiple domains. The project will use community-engaged, rigorous, and reproducible approaches to advance the science of measuring and addressing structural stigma and discrimination impacting Latine and SGM populations.
