Research Interests:
Dr. Brooks' research focuses on the health and well-being of queer and transgender people of
color (QTPoC). His work is at the intersection of stigma, identity development, positive
psychology, and clinical health psychology. Dr. Brooks primarily examines how the identity
development process influences mental health and health behaviors among QTPoC within the
context of other syndemic factors that increase risk for HIV and poor health outcomes.
