Jeremy D. Kidd, MD
Accepting New Patients
Overview
I am an addiction psychiatrist and health disparities researcher. For over 15 years, I have worked on studies to improve health outcomes for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) populations. I received my MD from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MPH from Boston University, where I worked under the mentorship of experts in both addiction and LGBTQ+ mental health. After graduating medical school and coming to Columbia University for residency, I began to synthesize these interests into research studies that seek to address substance use disparities among LGBTQ+ populations. In addition to research, I work as an attending psychiatrist in the Washington Heights Community Service. I am also active in training efforts for students, residents/fellows, and attending-level colleagues to teach skills that are needed to provide affirming healthcare for LGBTQ+ patients.

Research
My research focuses on understanding and alleviating substance use-related disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) populations. This includes developing and evaluating culturally adapted prevention and treatment interventions for LGBTQ+ individuals with substance use disorders. I have a K23 career-development award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) to evaluate an adapted version of interpersonal psychotherapy for transgender individuals with alcohol use disorder. I am also engaged in collaborations with other LGBTQ+ health researchers and community partners to understand how gender expression influences drinking behaviors in cisgender LGB populations and to investigate the uptake of medication treatments for opioid use disorder among transgender individuals.
