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].

Recruitment of Young Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men for a Web-Based Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Intervention: Differences in Participant Characteristics and Study Engagement by Recruitment Source in a Randomized Controlled Trial

However, a recent review paper suggests that fewer than 40% of young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men who are age-eligible for HPV vaccination have received any doses of the vaccine series [5]. In response, HPV vaccination interventions for young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have recently been developed to improve knowledge and increase vaccination rates [7-10].

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].
