Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Ethan Cicero, PhD, RN is an Assistant Professor in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholar. He completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the Biobehavioral Research Training in Symptom Science Program at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Nursing. He earned a PhD from the Duke University School of Nursing in 2018 and a BS in Nursing with Highest Honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. Dr. Cicero’s program of research is focused on evaluating the interrelationship between social inequities and the effects of adverse and affirming social conditions on the health and well-being of transgender populations, with a particular interest in promoting healthy aging and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Dr. Cicero's scholarly work has contextualized the healthcare experiences of transgender adults, holistically examined their health, and filled methodological gaps in transgender health research. He was one of the first researchers to delineate health differences and document health disparities among transgender subpopulations as well as illustrate that conventional approaches to analyzing complex survey design data may impact the validity and precision of statistical conclusions regarding the health of transgender populations. His research, supported by the NIH, the National Institute of Nursing Research, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has led to national and international attention with media outlets like CBS News, Huffington Post, and Hospitals & Health Networks; served as scientific evidence in multiple U.S. Supreme Court cases; and shaped the position statements of several professional nursing organizations. Dr. Cicero has influenced the incorporation of transgender health-related topics into the curriculum of multiple schools of nursing, and he has presented on the topic at international and national nursing and research conferences.
