This is a 3-2-1 discussion post I wrote for additional information (if needed)
3 Things I Found Interesting
- One thing that stood out was how many LGBTQ+ individuals face barriers in healthcare because of stigma, discrimination, or providers lacking knowledge. This can make people hesitant to seek the care they need.
- A healthcare environment can affect patient comfort. Inclusive policies, respectful communication, and visible support (like inclusive forms or nondiscrimination statements) can help LGBTQ+ patients feel safer.
- Collecting information on sexual orientation and gender identity can help providers better understand patient needs while still protecting privacy.
2 Things I Learned
- LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of certain health disparities, including mental health challenges, substance use, and some chronic conditions due to social stress and discrimination.
- Culturally competent care involves using respectful language, asking appropriate questions, and avoiding assumptions about a patients identity or relationships
