The APA Education Directorate has implemented a new
program, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of
Adolescent and School Health (CDC-DASH). The Healthy Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Students
Project is a five year collaboration between CDC-DASH, the Center for Psychology in
Schools and Education in the Education Directorate and the Office of Lesbian, Gay and
Bisexual Concerns in the Public Interest Directorate. The Project seeks to reduce the
risks of HIV infection, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and address
other salient health issues of LGB youth. There are opportunities available for interested
graduate students. For additional information about how you may become involved with the
project, contact Dr. Dusty Porter, Healthy LGB Student Project Manager.
