RESEARCH
Dr. Puckett's research focuses on the unique stressors that impact transgender and nonbinary individuals, the impact of these stressors on health outcomes (including mental health, physical health, substance use, and sexual health), and ways that resilience is experienced in the lives of transgender and nonbinary people. Their research team, Trans-ilience, uses quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches to answer research questions in these areas.
Trans-ilience is dedicated to conducting research that is relevant and impactful for the communities that participate in this work. As such, they incorporate community members throughout the research process. This includes as members of the research team, as well as through collaborations and the community advisory board that is central to their work. They also strive to use research to contribute to positive social change for transgender and nonbinary people.
