This dataset contains information on the locations and types of services provided by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community health centers in the United States. Health services captured within the dataset include: General medical services; pharmacy services; STD/HIV services (i.e. prevention, testing, treatment, counseling, etc.); individual, group, couples, and family counseling; peer support groups; 12-step programs; psychiatric services; anti-violence programming; and wellness programs and services (e.g. healthy eating, active living, cancer support, and other healthy living programs and support groups). Additional categories are included for organizations whose health service did not fit within the above categories. LGBT community centers that operated a physical health clinic were also identified, and were defined as clinical spaces operated by trained and licensed healthcare personnel. In all, 435 records were created during the search for LGBT community health centers. Of these 435 records, 129 (29.7%) did not meet the criteria to be defined as an LGBT community center. The remaining 306 LGBT community center service sites were operated by 219 independent LGBT community centers. Of those, 213 (69.6%) were identified as LGBT community health center service sites, which were operated by 147 independent LGBT community health centers. Data was collected between September – December, 2015 via online search.

BackgroundLGBT community organizations in the United States have been providing health services since at least the 1970s. However, available explanations for the origins of LGBT health services do not sufficiently explain why health in particular has been so closely and consistently linked to LGBT activism. Little is also known regarding how LGBT health services may have evolved over time with the growing scientific understanding of LGBT health needs.MethodsThis study begins with a review of the early intersections of sexuality and health that led to an LGBT health movement in the United States, as well as the evolution of LGBT health services over time. Informed by this, an asset map displaying the location and types of services provided by “LGBT community health centers” today in relation to the population density of LGBT people was explored. An online search of LGBT community health centers was conducted between September–December, 2015. Organizational details, including physical addresses and the services provided, were confirmed via an online database of federally-registered non-profit organizations and organizational websites. The locations and types of services provided were analyzed and presented alongside county-level census data of same-sex households using geographic information system (GIS) software ArcGIS for Desktop.FindingsLGBT community health centers are concentrated within urban hubs and coastal states, and are more likely to be present in areas with a high density of same-sex couples. LGBT community health centers do not operate in 13 states. The most common health services provided are wellness programs, HIV/STI services, and counseling services.ConclusionsLGBT community health centers have adapted over time to meet the needs of LGBT people. However, significant gaps in service remain in the United States, and LGBT community health centers may require significant transformations going forward in order to continue serving LGBT people.

List of public events sponsored by the Chicago Department of Public Health

Exploratory factor analysis of items measuring knowledge of, attitudes towards, and experiences with LGBT people pre- and post-class among medical students in Lausanne, Switzerland (n = 117).

Quantitative data:

All participants completed a set of sociodemographic items, including their age, religion/ethnicity, employment status, education level, income, place of birth, residential place, substance use (smoking, alcohol use, drug use), and relationship status as well as partnership types.

Regarding participants’ sexuality information, three questions were used to collect and verify their gender identity and sexual orientation identity, respectively. Questions about gender identity include: “What is your birth-assigned gender?”, “What is the gender on your official documents?” and “What is your gender identity?” Questions about sexual orientation identity include: “What gender attracts you emotionally/romantically?”, “What gender attracts you physically/sexually?”, and “What is your sexual orientation identity”.

Sexual health related variables To measure sexual health, validated instruments were used to assess the following outcomes: i) sexual function; ii) sexual satisfaction; iii) positive sexuality. Participants were also asked about their sexual behaviors and experiences, their history of STI and reproductive symptoms as well as corresponding healthcare-seeking behaviors.

Psychosocial well-being related variables To measure psychosocial well-being, validated instruments were used to assess the following outcomes: i) quality of life; ii) depression; iii) anxiety; iv) self-esteem; v) social support. Participants were also asked about their socio-demographic information, including age, employment, religion/ethnicity, education level, income, relationship status, and sleep quality using validated instrument.

Qualitative data:

In-depth interviews were conducted to explore how individuals’ sexual identities and social differences intersect to shape their experiences and perspectives on their sexual health and well-being. Specifically, the interview guide included a series of topics related to participants’ perceived sexual identity, perceptions of sexual health, experiences of sexual activities and relationships, views of sexual well-being, and how they access sexual health services and what they think can be done to improve the experiences of sexual healthcare.

In 2023, only half of LGBT adults in the United States reported feeling very comfortable asking their doctor questions about their health or treatment during visits in the past three years, while this was the case for 67 percent of non-LGBT adults. Furthermore, around 12 percent of LGBT adults surveyed reported not being comfortable asking questions during their healthcare visits, as opposed to seven percent of non-LGBT adults.

The IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data series includes measures of disparities, policies, and counts, by state or county, for historically marginalized populations in the United States including Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latina/o/e/x, and LGBTQ+ persons, and women. The IPUMS CDOH data are made available through ICPSR/DSDR for merging with the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) by approved restricted data researchers. All other researchers can access the IPUMS CDOH data via the IPUMS CDOH website. Unlike other IPUMS products, the CDOH data are organized into multiple categories related to Race and Ethnicity, Sexual and Gender Minority, Gender, and Politics. The CDOH measures were created from a wide variety of data sources (e.g., IPUMS NHGIS, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Movement Advancement Project, and Myers Abortion Facility Database). Measures are currently available for states or counties from approximately 2015 to 2020. The Sexual and Gender measures in this release include the proportion of a state's population identifying as LGBTQ+ in the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, Phases 3.2 (07/21/2021-10/11/2021), 3.3 (12/01/2021-02/07/2022), 3.4 (03/02/2022-05/09/2022), and 3.5 (06/01/2022-08/08/2022). To work with the IPUMS CDOH data, researchers will need to first merge the NCHAT data to DS1 (MATCH ID and State FIPS Data). This merged file can then be linked to the IPUMS CDOH datafile (DS2) using the STATEFIPS variable.

The National Lesbian Health Care Survey originated from a recognition of the need for accurate information about the health and health care needs of lesbians. The study was designed to explore the broad range of health issues and health care needs as defined by lesbians throughout the United States. For the purpose of this survey, health was defined holistically, and incorporated the following dimensions: community and social life; general health and health care; gynecological health and health care; mental health and health care; stress and methods of coping; substance abuse and eating disorders; physical and sexual abuse and help-seeking behaviors; discrimination; self-care; and the extent of "outness". The 10-page closed-ended questionnaire used in the survey includes demographic and background information and questions addressing the range of topics used to define health. Questions were formulated from the knowledge, experience, and perceptions of health care workers who have direct contact with the lesbian population. The Murray Research Archive holds numeric file data for 1,925 women, representing lesbians from every state and throughout the various regions of the United States.

According to the integrated attachment and sexual minority stress model and the theory of belonging, minority stress places lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and pansexual (LGBQP) persons at risk of insecure attachment and mental-health problems, whereas belonging to a community (especially the LGBQP+ Community) is beneficial. We tested the hypothesis that the sense of belonging (SOB) to the LGBQP+ Community may be one mechanism through which attachment security protects LGBQP adults from depression. We also tested whether this mechanism is equally present at different levels of SOB to the general community. As predicted, SOB to the LGBQP+ Community mediated the indirect negative effect of attachment security on depression, lending tentative support to the mechanism and conceptually replicating prior research. We found no evidence that this mediation effect would vary with levels of SOB to the general community. Exploratory analyses revealed that anxious and avoidant attachment may differ in the extent to which SOB to the LGBQP+ and general communities mediate their relationships with depression. This research was appropriately powered (N = 364) but limited by its cross-sectional methodology. We discuss the implications of this research regarding health inequities, access to the LGBQP+ Community, and the promotion of well-being in queer people.

The variables within the dataset refer to the General Belongingness Scale (GBS; Malone et al., 2012), the Center for Epidemiologic Scale for Depression (CESD; Radloff, 1977), and the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale Short Form (ECRS-SF; Wei et al., 2007). The GBS measures participants’ experiences of feeling included, accepted, and connected in a community. Within our study, there were two versions of the GBS administered; one version referred to the LGBQP community, and one version referred to the general community. The CESD assesses the frequency of depressive symptoms experienced in the past week. We administered two versions of the ECRS-SF. Participants were selected to take one version of the ECRS-SF based on their response to a question asking if they had ever been in a close romantic relationship before. Participants who answered "yes" received the original version of the ECRS-SF. Participants who answered "no" received an altered version of the ECRS-SF that changed the language from "romantic partner" to "people I'm close with". Standard demographic information such as: age, gender, relationship status, and ethnicity are included in this dataset. Standard demographic information such as: age, gender, relationship status, and ethnicity are included in this dataset.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE This survey gathers data to inform our understanding of workplace discrimination, substance abuse, and health, in relation to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identity. DESCRIPTION OF PARTICIPANTS Adults attending NC Pride 2016 (a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community festival open to the public on Duke University's campus on September 24, 2016) in Durham, NC. RESEARCH METHODS We used iPads to conduct an anonymous survey using convenience sampling with participants at the NC Pride Parade and Festival. The survey took place at the festival portion, which has a sound stage, food vendors, and booths from corporations, businesses, and community organizations. The surveyors requested participation from adults who were walking by the survey team tent, which was rented from NC Pride. Surveyors stayed by the tent and were always in the presence of a faculty member and other surveyors while conducting surveys at the tent. Training with the survey team was conducted about protocols, informed consent, and how to handle refusals the week prior to survey implementation.

The aim of this study was to identify discourses on access to and quality of comprehensive care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people adopted by doctors working in the Family Health Strategy. This article reflects upon how these discourses influence the provision of healthcare to LGBT population. Fifteen doctors from Uberlândia and Belo Horizonte, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, participated in the study. The analysis of the interviews was underpinned by the principles of social constructionism and based on the following analytical categories: the “no difference discourse”, “don’t know discourse”, “don’t want discourse”. Insights were gained into how these discourses prompt the silencing of issues related to the health status of LGBT people, alienating them from comprehensive universal healthcare. We conclude that to improve care provision for this population, healthcare providers need to change their approach. In this respect, training is urgently needed to improve the accessibility and delivery of comprehensive health services to LGBT people.
