Special Session

Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) adolescents experience stigma, discrimination, and related health disparities. In Canada, LGBTQ human rights laws and societal attitudes have improved; using new methods to evaluate trends in disparities and population-based interventions, we will share trends in health equity among LGBTQ young people.
