While LGBT populations often are combined as a single entity for research and advocacy purposes, each is a distinct population group with its own specific health needs. Furthermore, the experiences of LGBT individuals are not uniform and are shaped by factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location, and age, any of which can have an effect on health-related concerns and needs.The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People assesses the state of science on the health status of LGBT populations, identifies research gaps and opportunities, and outlines a research agenda for the National Institute of Health. The report examines the health status of these populations in three life stages: childhood and adolescence, early/middle adulthood, and later adulthood. At each life stage, the committee studied mental health, physical health, risks and protective factors, health services, and contextual influences. To advance understanding of the health needs of all LGBT individuals, the report finds that researchers need more data about the demographics of these populations, improved methods for collecting and analyzing data, and an increased participation of sexual and gender minorities in research.The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People is a valuable resource for policymakers, federal agencies including the National Institute of Health (NIH), LGBT advocacy groups, clinicians, and service providers. 606 $aGay people$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aBisexual people$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aTransgender people$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aHealth care for LGBTQ+ people$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000614 606 $aMental health care for LGBTQ+ people$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0001012 606 $aPhysical health care for LGBTQ+ people$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0001113 615 0$aGay people$xMedical care 615 0$aBisexual people$xMedical care 615 0$aTransgender people$xMedical care 615 7$aHealth care for LGBTQ+ people 615 7$aMental health care for LGBTQ+ people 615 7$aPhysical health care for LGBTQ+ people 676 $a362.1086/64 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health Issues and Research Gaps and Opportunities. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955843803321 996 $aThe health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people$94361738 997 $aUNINA
