Recommendations for promoting affirming healthcare for gender and sexual minorities with intersecting marginalized identities
Providers, staff, and patients highlighted the importance of continuing education and training to offer affirming, safe, and equitable care for LGBTQ+ people with intersecting marginalized identities. These implementation suggestions may be helpful for primary care clinics in developing inclusive and equitable medical environments. Further, the NGT, followed by a review of findings by impacted patients, may be useful when considering equitable implementation focused on meeting the needs of people with intersecting marginalized identities.
