Sarah Abboud, PhD, RN, Assistant Professor of Human Development Nursing Science, University of Illinois Chicago
Dr. Abboud’s research work centers on the intersections of ethnicity, sexuality, gender, health, and immigration among immigrants, ethnic minorities, sexual and gender minorities in the United States, in particular Arabs and Arab Americans, and in Lebanon. Her work is informed by social justice, intersectionality, and health equity frameworks and aims at decreasing the significant health disparities faced by marginalized populations. Along with her research work, Dr. Abboud has extensive experience in sexual health, qualitative research methods, mixed methods, and community-based participatory research approaches.
In the US, Dr. Abboud’s work has concentrated on virginity and sexual initiation, communication with parents about sex and sexuality, and sexual attitudes and behaviors among young adult Arabs. Dr. Abboud is currently working on the development of a sexual health promotion intervention for young adult Arabs in Chicago, with a focus on intimate partner sexual violence prevention. As part of a fellowship at Yale University, she is also exploring HIV/STI risk behaviors and mental health of Arab GBQ men, pre- and post-migration to the US.
In Lebanon, Dr. Abboud’s work has centered on HIV/AIDS, where she investigated the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. She serves as board member of LebMASH (Lebanese Medical Association for Sexual Health), working on advancing healthcare for LGBTQ individuals, as well as sexual and reproductive health throughout Lebanon.
Dr. Abboud completed her BS and MS in Nursing at the American University of Beirut School of Nursing, Lebanon, and her PhD and post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, where she was a member of the Centers for Global Women’s Health and Health Equity Research. She completed a Visiting Faculty Fellowship at Yale University School of Public Health Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (2017-2019).
