JaNelle M. Ricks studies sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, and violence experiences among marginalized populations, with particular attention to Black men who have sex with men, transgender women, and sexual minority youth. The work combines public health research on trauma, intimate partner violence, and HIV/STI prevention with attention to how race, gender identity, and geography (especially the U.S. South and Appalachia) shape health outcomes and access to care. This research is intended to inform community-based interventions and clinical practices that better serve these populations.
