Abstract
Background
LGBTQIA+ patients face significant physical and mental health disparities, and providers often lack the training and knowledge to meet their needs.
Purpose
The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an LGBTQIA+ cultural humility training program.
Methods
Using a pre-posttest design, 20 community mental health center employees completed surveys on knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to working with LGBTQIA+ patients before and after completion of an interactive online training module.
Results
Results showed statistically significant improvement in clinical preparedness.
Discussion
Further research is needed to determine the impact of improved provider knowledge and skills on patient outcomes.
