Lauren B. McInroy studies the online experiences and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) youth, including topics like digital harassment ('digital microaggressions'), online communities, and video gaming. Related work examines sexual identity and behavior in men who have sex with men, as well as training methods (such as online simulations) for social work education. This research combines psychology, social work, and technology to understand how digital spaces affect the mental health and identity development of sexual and gender minority populations.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, peaking around 2019-2020, dipping in 2021-2022, and showing a modest recovery in recent years (2023-2025), with an average of under 5 papers per year over the last five years.
