Jordon D. Bosse Biography

About

Dr. Bosse (he/him/his) joined the School of Nursing at Northeastern University in the fall of 2020. His research is focused on the mental health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) young people within the context of their family relationship (parents’ and sibling acceptance-rejection). Social justice has been at the heart of his work, within and outside of nursing, for nearly 20 years. He has worked in a variety of public health settings with populations who are marginalized based on a variety of factors and experience disparate health and healthcare access because of stigma and discrimination.

Dr. Bosse’s long-term research goal is to identify individual, dyadic, and family-level variables that both contribute to the increased vulnerability to and protect against negative mental health outcomes (e.g., depression, suicidal ideation, and non-suicidal self-injury) among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) young adults to inform interventions that will improve both short-term and long-term mental health outcomes among these vulnerable populations. He plans to develop community-based, participatory action-based research to identify research problems and develop people-centered, resilience-based solutions to identified challenges.

Prior to coming to Northeastern, he was the program director of research and education at Boulder Care, Inc., a digital health company that developed an interdisciplinary, telehealth-based treatment for opioid use disorder, where he oversaw usability testing with the Boulder app and feasibility testing with the program model.

Project Descriptions

Transgender Young Adults, Sibling Relationships, and Mental Health additional analyses from these previously collected data will include evaluating sibling relationships before and after gender identity disclosure; mental health in relation to gender transition milestones; and evaluating the impact of minority stress on transgender and nonbinary young adults’ mental health.

AY 2021-2022: Moral Reckoning with Nurses’ Actions, Inactions, and Silence that May Perpetuate Health Inequity Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer People (through Northeastern University Humanities Fellowship) will use social media analysis and digital stories (created by LGBTQ+ individuals and LGBTQ+-identified nurses) as tools to increase healthcare professionals’ awareness of the unique needs of LGBTQ+ populations in healthcare settings.
