There are many reasons for this paucity of knowledge\, and s everal concern research methodology. Thus\, this workshop will address key methodological aspects of conducting observational research on hormonal c ontraceptive effects on human behavior. It will consider study inclusion c riteria\, between- versus within-person designs\, collection of hormone in dicators as well as brain and behavioral measures\, and data analysis. Emp hasis will be placed on the need to match research methods to research que stions\, and on the ways in which hormonal contraceptive effects might var y – across unique individuals\, time\, and as qualifiers of other psycho logical effects.\n\nBio: Dr. Adriene Beltz is an Associate Professor of P sychology at the University of Michigan. She is a quantitative development alist who studies sex hormone influences on the brain and gendered behavio rs across the lifespan. She specializes in ovarian hormone links to cognit ion and psychopathology and uses innovative methods to reveal when women a re – and are not – well-represented by averages. Dr. Beltz received he r PhD in Psychology\, specializing in Social\, Cognitive\, and Affective N euroscience\, from Penn State University\, and she completed a post-doctor al position at the same university focused on quantitative methodology bef ore joining the University of Michigan faculty in 2016. Her research is fu nded by the National Institutes of Health\, Jacobs Foundation\, and James S. McDonnell Foundation. She has also received awards from the Association for Psychological Science as well as Divisions 5 (Methods) and 6 (Behavio ral Neuroscience) of the American Psychological Association.\n\n\n\nDr. Ro bert-Paul Juster\n\nTalk Title: Hormonal and Contraceptive Considerations for LGBTQIA2S+ Stress Research\n\nTalk Abstract: Psychiatry and neurosci ence have a complicated history when it comes to sexual and gender diversi ty. This is especially true when it comes to understanding neuroendocrine variations among lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer\, intersex \, asexual\, and two-spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) people. This presentation will fo cus on my research program on stigma\, stress\, and strain among LGTQIA2S+ communities. Associations are complexified but ultimately expanded when c onsidering sex hormone and contraceptive use among LGBTQIA2S+ people and t he emerging integration of stress biomarkers.\n\nBio: Dr. Robert-Paul Jus ter is the Director of the Center on Sex*Gender\, Allostasis\, and Resilie nce (CESAR) based at the Research Center of the Montreal Mental Health Uni versity Institute.
