The LGBTQ+ population faces disproportionate health risks. Stigma, discrimination, and a general lack of understanding of specific needs of the LGBTQ+ population reduces access to safe healthcare and services. Learn about health disparities faced by the LGBTQ+ population and the health consequences of ongoing stigma and discrimination. Familiarize yourself with current terms and practice using language appropriately to contribute to improving health equity for the LGBTQ+ population.

Reviewers say, "Be sure to download all of the resources and guides. These contain a wealth of useful information and will make great quick-reference materials stored locally." And, "Have your pop-out settings set to allow."

This learning opportunity topic is aligned with one or more of the strategic skills.
