Characterizing Barriers to Engaging in Digestive Health care for Sexual and Gender Minority People in the United States
Systematic deficiencies were identified in the provision of SGM-affirming digestive care, related to bias within health care systems and a lack of understanding of unique SGM-related needs throughout the United States. Further research studying improved shared clinician and SGM GI patient engagement is needed to address these sources of health inequity.
