Amy Hequembourg is an associate professor for the School of Nursing and has devoted her career to understanding the nature of health disparities among sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) populations. Her research has impacted the field of SGM health in several ways. First, she has identified risks associated with sexual victimization among cisgender sexual minority women, as well as providing insights into their unique post-assault disclosure and coping experiences. Second, she has contributed to an ever-expanding body of research that identifies and elucidates the unique health disparities experienced by bisexual women. Third, her ongoing work as a member of several interdisciplinary research teams seeks to expand knowledge about the link between alcohol use and violence among SGM individuals and within same-sex couples. Her current funded research examines mechanisms linking peer victimization and alcohol use among LGBTQ+ adolescents.
