Investigations of the social determinants of health in these populations are needed, including understanding the impact of stigma, the high impact of HIV, minority stress, education, employment, violence, homelessness, and incarceration.

Successful aging, including the impact of life events, experiences, and interventions such as hormone therapy and surgery are other important topics to investigate.
