Julia Applegate studies health communication and healthcare experiences among LGBTQ+ populations, with a particular focus on tailoring anti-smoking and anti-vaping messages for sexual and gender minority young adults. Other work examines healthcare bias faced by LGBTQ parents of children with developmental disabilities, and experiences of aging and loneliness among older lesbians. Much of this research uses surveys, qualitative interviews, and randomized trials to design and test culturally tailored public health messaging and dissemination strategies for community organizations.
