Doctoral Candidate Sarah is a doctoral candidate in the Sociology Department at the University of Georgia. She is broadly interested in the personal, social, and structural factors that facilitate and constrain health and well-being and often uses social psychological theories to investigate her research questions. More specifically, her research focuses on how two fundamental social statuses - sexual orientation and gender identity - influence people's experiences of the social world. Most recently, her work focuses on health care access, utilization, and health outcomes of LGBTQIA+ populations. Her dissertation research is a mixed-methods inquiry into the how, why, and under what conditions lesbian women make decisions regarding accessing health care, and the role of patient-provider interaction in these decisions. Her work has been published in Sex Roles, and she has received support for her work through the University of Georgia's J. William Fanning Fellowship, the Research and Engagement in Diversity Seed Grant, and the University of Georgia Sociology Department Small Grants Fund.
