Avery M. Anderson

Avery M. Anderson studies the mental and physical health of transgender, gender-diverse, and other sexual and gender minority youth and young adults, with a particular focus on suicide risk, minority stress, and access to gender-affirming and mental health care. Much of the work combines survey data, chart/record reviews, and mixed-methods or community-engaged approaches to understand disparities and improve clinical and nursing practice. A prospective student would likely engage with public health nursing, adolescent health, and health equity research aimed at informing clinical guidelines and policy.

Publication output has grown steadily over the last decade, rising from no publications in 2017-2018 to a sustained pace of about 4-6 papers per year since 2022.
