Michelle M. Johns, PhD, MPH is a Senior Research Scientist at NORC at the University of Chicago. Johns has over 15 years of experience serving as a researcher, evaluator, and educator on health equity issues, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ communities.

As a mixed methods scientist, Johns tailors the use of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to meet the goals of a wide range of research and evaluation studies. Her own research examines how social stigma and resilience shape the lives of LGBTQ+ communities, in particular how factors across the social ecology (e.g., social, community, relationship) affect individual experiences of minority stress, violence victimization, and behavioral health over the life course.

Johns holds a PhD and MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan.
