Addressing Health Disparities Affecting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Youth and Adults in Wisconsin

Year: 2009

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Evidence suggests that health disparities exist between the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and non-LGBT populations in Wisconsin and elsewhere. The authors recommend that the Wisconsin Department of Health Services include questions about gender identity and sexual orientation in its regular data collection. They describe four promising practices to reduce these disparities and outline a decision-making matrix to inform the agency's plan to address health needs of Wisconsin?s LGBT residents.
