Biography
Jeremy Goldbach is Director of the Center for LGBTQ+ Health Equity and joined the faculty in 2012 after completing both his master's and doctoral degrees in social work at The University of Texas at Austin. His work at UT-Austin was funded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, specializing in prevention science. His research is primarily focused on the relationship between social stigma, stress and health among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) children and adolescents. He currently holds funding from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD; 1R01MD012252; R21MD013971), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Department of Defense (DOD). Since joining the faculty, he has also been funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for psychometric instrument development (2014-17) The Trevor Project to explore pathways of suicidality among LGBTQ youth, the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Institute and through the Zumberge Small Grant Program. He served from 2014-2017 as a member-at-large for the Society for Social Work and Research and sits on the Council on Social Work Education’s Council on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression and the National Association of Social Workers’ National Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. His practice background includes both clinical and community organizing. Before returning for his doctoral education, Goldbach oversaw a large community-organizing project in Texas that funded 32 community coalitions to reduce substance use concerns through environmental, policy-based strategy.
