Abstract

The following essay examines health communication outreach for LGBTQ+ college students through analyzing both the design and exit evaluation of a federally funded United States public health program. SHARE-Pride was a three-year health intervention program that served LGBTQ+ students ages 18-24 at Southern University (SU)-a Hispanic and Minority Serving Institution. Because of structural barriers creating sexual health and drug and alcohol consumption risks, SHARE-Pride (SP) used a peer advocate model for students to develop mentoring relationships with LGBTQ+ peers to increase health knowledge. We first present health literature that informed SP's design and then examine research that shaped our exit study to understand advocates' intersectional identities and experiences as impacting their health communication outreach. We share rich findings from our interviews with 12 students, including communication approaches for LGBTQ+ health, increasing health communication inclusive of the full LGBTQ+ spectrum, and the role of intersectionality in LGBTQ+ health communication. We conclude with health communication praxis for future LGBTQ+ health programs and research.

LGBTQ+ 朋辈宣传员的健康交流实践，以满足大学生的健康外联和交叉需求。

以下文章通过分析一项由联邦政府资助的美国公共卫生项目的设计和退出评估，探讨了针对 LGBTQ+ 大学生的健康传播推广活动。SHARE-Pride是一项为期三年的健康干预计划，服务对象是南方大学（SU）的18-24岁LGBTQ+学生，南方大学是一所西班牙裔和少数民族服务机构。由于结构性障碍造成了性健康及毒品和酒精消费风险，SHARE-Pride（SP）采用了同伴倡导模式，让学生与 LGBTQ+ 同龄人建立辅导关系，以增加健康知识。我们首先介绍了为 SP 的设计提供依据的健康文献，然后审查了影响我们退出研究的研究，以了解倡导者的交叉身份和经历对其健康传播推广活动的影响。我们将与 12 名学生分享访谈中的丰富发现，包括 LGBTQ+ 健康传播方法、提高 LGBTQ+ 健康传播的包容性以及交叉性在 LGBTQ+ 健康传播中的作用。最后，我们为未来的 LGBTQ+ 健康计划和研究提供了健康传播实践。
