- Judith Bradford: a pioneer of research on LGBT health
Susan Jaffe, The Lancet, 12 March 2016;387(10023):1048 Abstract: Almost 30 years before the 2011 landmark report of the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) on health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, Judith Bradford did one of the first community research investigations of HIV/AIDS in gay men. At that time, Bradford says, this “hidden population” was not eager to answer questions about their personal lives for the survey she was doing for Virginia state Department of Health. The survey was a challenge she now describes as “an opportunity” that would become her PhD dissertation at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and set her on a course that determined her life's work as a population scientist.

The LGBT community and the world of academia lost a major figure on February 11, 2017 when Dr. Judith Bradford died at age 73 after an extended illness. Dr. Bradford was born in Rome, Georgia, but spent most of her formative years and early career in Virginia, where she studied Psychology and Mathematics at Randolph-Macon Woman's College and received her PhD in Social Policy and Social Work at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her early training and experience was quite eclectic, including becoming a certified addictions counselor and a family therapist.
