Dr. Scheim is a social epidemiologist interested in understanding (and ultimately, transforming) the impacts of social, policy, and healthcare environments on the health of stigmatized populations, particularly in urban settings. He conducts community-engaged research with LGBT populations and people who use drugs, with active projects in cities across North America and India. He also leads methodological research on survey measures of intersectional social positions and experiences of discrimination. He co-led the UHC-sponsored Queer Inclusion, Equity, Health, and Rights (QuIEHR) Working Group in the 2022-2023 academic year.
