CSDE affiliate Anjum Hajat, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and CSDE Affiliate Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, Professor of Epidemiology co-authored a recent article that examines changes in firearm-related behaviors among nonfatal gunshot wound (GSW) patients following their injury.

In the article, published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine Issue 4, the authors analyze survey data on firearm-related behaviors from an ongoing randomized control trial of GSW patients to find and describe changes in behavior.

CSDE Affiliate Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen, Professor of Social Work and Director of UW Healthy Generations Center, was featured in a live broadcast on KCPQ regarding her recent research on LGBTQ cohorts and two upcoming LGBTQ events in Seattle.

The research she discussed, funding by National Institute on Health (NIH), focuses on how LGBTQ elders are facing disparities, specifically in the state of Washington. These elders are found to be socially isolated and often feel as if they must hide their sexuality in order to receive adequate social services.
