In this symposium we will share important intersectional considerations for psychological health research. Paper 1 focuses on the importance of centering transgender and nonbinary health through the use of an intersectional, racial justice lens. The second paper focuses on polysexual Latinxs during the COVID-19 pandemic, sharing critical health and socio-economic health data that to our knowledge, has yet to be considered in the larger psychology and health research fields. The final, third paper focuses on a new 17.5mil California initiative that aims to address health disparities among LGBTQ+ women. The overarching goal of this initiative is to connect LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people to critical, life saving mental and physical health resources. However, given the long-standing barriers in health access for the LGBTQ+ community, our team argues that the initiative must be led from a racial justice lens or runs the risk of further marginalizing the most vulnerable members of the LGBTQ+ community. The team presenting paper 3 are the PI and core research/evaluation team of the California initiative.
