Introducing the Impact Institute (@Impact_NU), formerly known as the Institute for Sexual and General Minority Health and Wellbeing (ISGMH)!
The name Impact Institute is a nod to one of our first programs researching the health of #LGBTQ populations.

As WorldPride is underway this weekend in Washington, D.C., a rally and march are planned for Sunday to protest the Trump administration's actions affecting the LGBTQ community, such as cutting funding for health research. Many researchers in areas like gender affirming care and HIV/AIDS have lost federal grants.
@AliRogin sat down with @Mustanski, director of the Impact Institute for LGBTQ health research, to learn more.

How can implementation science accelerate progress toward ending the HIV epidemic? A new JAIDS supplemental issue provides insight by summarizing HIV implementation knowledge from 120 EHE projects and identifying next steps to advance interventions. tinyurl.com/4jb2fmbt

Conversion therapy was significantly associated with several adverse cardiovascular health outcomes, such as increased BP. 🩸
Hear why @Mustanski says #clinicians should discourage patients from “pursuing these discredited practices”:

Supreme Court has decided to hear a case challenging local and state laws banning so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ youth. Our new study in @JAMANetworkOpen is first to show these discredited practices increase risk for later heart disease. Free: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

In our cohort study of 703 LGBTQ young adults 10.2% were exposed to these practices, typically around the time of puberty. Exposure was associated with later elevated blood pressure, increased systemic inflammation, and higher odds of self-reported hypertension diagnosis.

These results suggest that exposure to SOGICE may increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular health outcomes, underscoring the need for enforcement of bans and affirmative care approaches.

"We are on the precipice of being able to end HIV in our country," ISGMH's @Mustanski tells @axios.
"We have the tools to solve it, ... but if we back off that, if we take our foot off the pedal, we will have more #HIV cases in the United States."

Last weeks have been dizzying as the fed canceled nearly all our @ISGMH NIH funded research 2 improve implementation of health services, health of young gay/bi/lesbian men & women, trans health in HIV, mental health, cancer, cardio disease, drug use, etc. How can you help? 🧵
