For over a decade, he has focused specifically on the study of public health issues related to minority health.〔 His areas of research include stress and illness in minority populations, in particular, the relationship of minority status, minority identity, prejudice and discrimination and mental health outcomes in sexual minorities and the intersection of minority stressors related to sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and gender. Meyer developed a model of that describes the relationship of social stressors and mental disorders and helps to explain LGBT health disparities.〔Meyer, Ilan H. (Prejudice, Social Stress, and Mental Health in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Populations: Conceptual Issues and Research Evidence ). mpipp.org. ''Psychol Bull'' . 2003 September; 129(5): 674–697.〕 The model has guided his and other investigators’ population research on LGBT health disparities by identifying the mechanisms by which social stressors impact health and describing the harm to LGBT people from prejudice and stigma. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) cited the model as one of four cross-cutting perspectives (the only one stemming from LGBT scholarship) recommended for the study of LGBT health. For this work, Meyer received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Concerns of the American Psychological Association (APA) and Distinguished Scientific Contribution award from the APA’s Division 44.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ilan H.
