Jae A. Puckett

My research documents experiences of stigma and marginalization encountered by transgender and nonbinary individuals and the negative health outcomes of prejudice using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches. My research seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms and processes that underlie the production of health disparities that exist for these communities, as well as strategies for coping and being resilient in the face of the adverse life events that transgender and gender diverse people frequently encounter.
