Abstract
Abstract Current research in SGM health outcomes and disparities has made great strides, but a more in-depth understanding of the health needs of the population and how to address them is still required. This study aims to identify the health needs of the SGM population through in-depth interviews with researchers and health care providers that have spent their careers working with members of this population. Four themes were identified: LGBQ and trans outside of Heteronormativity, the multifaceted aspects of health, impact of discrimination, and healthcare system barriers. Finally, we explore potential multi-level solutions to this dilemma from a Social Ecological perspective.
