Improving patient well‐being in the United States through care coordination interventions informed by social determinants of health
Health and well-being are promoted when primary care teams partner with patients and provide care coordination to mitigate risks and promote optimal health.

Chasing the rainbow: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youth and pride semiotics
While the pride rainbow has been part of political and social intervention for decades, few have researched how lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer young people perceive and use the symbol.

As part of a larger study on supportive lesbian, gay, bisexual, transg…
