Training: ScD in Social & Psychiatric Epidemiology (Harvard School of Public Health), MA in Gender and Cultural Studies (Brandeis University), BA in English Literature and Women's Studies (Georgetown University)
Research Focus: Trained as a social and psychiatrist epidemiologist, Dr. Reisner’s research focuses on understanding and mitigating health inequities for LGBTQIA+ populations, particularly in mental health and substance use, HIV infection, and healthcare access and quality outcomes. Dr. Reisner brings deep expertise in transgender and gender diverse population health, community-engaged research methods and peer-delivered interventions, cohort study and clinical trial design, and social determinants of health. His work utilizes a “participatory population perspective” (Reisner et al., Lancet, 2016) to work “with” not “on” communities to promote health equity.
