Experience in 2SLGBTQ+ Research

Dr. Abramovich applies community-based, action-oriented, mixed-methods research to investigate and address the health and social inequities and systemic and structural barriers to health, wellbeing, and housing experienced by 2SLGBTQ+ youth and young adults. The overarching aims of his program of research are to investigate and improve the health and service needs of 2SLGBTQ+ youth and young adults and provide evidence-informed recommendations for innovative solutions to prevent, reduce, and end 2SLGBTQ+ youth homelessness nationally and internationally. Dr. Abramovich’s research also focuses on the health outcomes and health service utilization among trans and gender-diverse populations. He is currently leading a study focused on trans youth and adolescent (12-24 years) health outcomes and health service experiences in Ontario utilizing administrative health data.
