Boston was the site of the 2013 Summer Institute in LGBT Population Health, held from July 15-August 9. Sponsored by The Fenway Institute of Fenway Health and the Department of Community Health Sciences of the Boston University School of Public Health, this intensive 4-week training program drew 18 participants from local Boston and across the country. The trainees came together to learn how best to research and improve the health of sexual and gender minority populations. The program included a seminar on LGBT health and social life, short courses in quantitative analysis, and a data lab. Each participant completed an independent quantitative analysis project on an LGBT health topic of interest, using computerized data.
