Health-Related Social Needs Among LGB+ Veterans
This cross-sectional study found that LGB+ veterans reported a higher prevalence of social needs related to managing experiences of discrimination and housing instability compared with their straight counterparts. Expansion of support systems to address social needs in general and to ensure that systems are tailored for groups that more often experience certain needs should be considered.
