The Midlands LGBT Community Needs Assessment was launched at
Omaha Pride 2010. Over 750 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
Midlanders who live, work, and play in Nebraska answered questions
about their physical, mental, social, sexual health and the health of the
LGBT community. Results will be released at Omaha Pride 2011.
Dr. Fisher, Assistant Professor of Health Promotion, Social and Behavioral Health at
UNMCs College of Public Health, is the lead investigator. Co-investigators are Dr.
Irwin, UNO Assistant Professor of Sociology, and Dr. Jason Coleman, UNO Assistant
Professor of Health Education. All three have conducted previous research with LGBT
populations in Indiana, California, Alabama, and South Carolina. Team also includes
UNMC and UNO graduate students. Research sponsored by the University of
Nebraska Medical Center's College of Public Health.
