H 13 SPECIAL SESSION: Is it Getting Better? A Program of Research Evaluating Health Equity for LGBTQ Youth in Western Canada

Saturday, 27 July 2019: 8:00 AM-8:30 AM
Summary
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) adolescents experience stigma, discrimination, and related health disparities. In Canada, LGBTQ human rights laws and societal attitudes have improved; using new methods to evaluate trends in disparities and population-based interventions, we will share trends in health equity among LGBTQ young people.
