Providing culturally competent healthcare to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population

Abstract

Health disparities exist in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community due in part to a long history of discriminatory attitudes among individuals and societal groups. Gaining insight into various LGBT subgroups and demographic influences is essential in providing culturally competent patient care.
