Impact of a Virtual Care Navigation Service on Member-Reported Outcomes Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Populations: Case Study

Impact of a Virtual Care Navigation Service on Member-Reported Outcomes Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Populations: Case Study

Compelling evidence indicates that communities comprised of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and a broader spectrum of sexual orientations and/or gender identities (LGBTQ+) disproportionately endure a range of health issues [1-3]. According to minority stress theory, the stigma associated with sexual and/or gender minority identities acts as a stressor, potentially serving as a foundational contributor to health inequities among LGBTQ+ people [4].

Use of Machine Learning Tools in Evidence Synthesis of Tobacco Use Among Sexual and Gender Diverse Populations: Algorithm Development and Validation

Notably, sexual and gender diverse individuals, often referred to as the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, Two Spirit, and other persons who identify as part of this community) populations, are particularly vulnerable to nicotine and tobacco product use [3]. Both the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recognized the LGBTQ+ populations as a critical target in their efforts to combat tobacco use disparities [4-10].

Within this age group, the risk for suicide is especially pronounced within certain minoritized communities: compared with heterosexual and cisgender youth, youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other minoritized gender and sexual identities (LGBTQIA+) report higher levels of suicidal ideation and attempts; report higher rates of suicide risk factors, such as depression, substance use, and self-harm; and are more likely to disclose a past history of abuse, victimization
