His work focuses on health equity for underserved male populations, including boys, men of color, and 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, offering critical insights to federal agencies, state programs, and NGOs. A champion of collective impact, Earl integrates evidence-based practices with innovative prevention strategies to dismantle systemic barriers impacting marginalized groups.
Earl leads and consults on impactful initiatives, including the 2024 International Conference on Violence Against Men and Boys, where he co-developed a curriculum focused on syndemic-based public health interventions for violence prevention among vulnerable male communities. His collaborative work with organizations such as the National Center on Child Trafficking, National Center for Youth Law, Yale School of Public Health, Quinnipiac School of Law, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and HEAL Trafficking reflects his dedication to equity and inclusive approaches, helping these entities create safer, more responsive systems for male survivors. Earl's recent publications and research, including studies on service access barriers and biases impacting trafficking survivors, as well as his focused work on risks and trajectories for the commercial sexual exploitation of males, contribute to critical policy and practice reforms. His findings help shape a more equitable landscape in anti-trafficking and public health, particularly for underserved male populations.
