Laurie Drabble is a Professor at San José State University, where she conducts research at the intersection of public health, social work, and LGBTQ+ health. Her work focuses on substance use, mental health, and hazardous drinking among sexual minority women, with recent studies examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on drinking-to-cope behaviors and the efficacy of LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive-behavioural therapy. Her latest publications include a 2026 analysis of hazardous alcohol use among sexual and gender minority groups and a scoping review of SGM health research in Ireland. Drabble’s ongoing projects explore sober curiosity frameworks and mutual aid among diverse sexual minority women, contributing to culturally responsive interventions and health equity.
