Health concerns across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum

Le résumé fourni par la source

LGBTQ+ individuals represent a large, heterogenous group. Individuals in this group often experience prejudice, discrimination, and inequities in the healthcare system, making them less likely to seek care and more likely to experience adverse outcomes. In addition to stigma and denial of primary or specialized care, they may also experience inappropriate pathologizing of their sexual orientation or gender identity both within and outside of healthcare settings that drives them away from accessing life-saving services linked to their health and well-being. This collection invites original research on LGBTQ+ health – both broad and intersectionally construed. We welcome quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies on LGBTQ+ health. We also welcome manuscripts that apply evidence synthesis including systematic reviews, as well as meta-analyses which focus on health-related outcomes (e.g., disparities, predictors of mental or physical health outcomes, group comparisons, experience in/access to/utilisation of healthcare provisions), focusing on clear health-related outcome(s) among LGBTQ+ communities.
