New #LGBTQ policy brief out at @Health_Affairs! . Using @ACLU and @lgbtmap data we show that there’s been sharp rise in between and within state polarization on LGBTQ issues. We also compare progress on LGBTQ demographic data collection to peers like @UKStatsAuth and @ABSStats.

Research from @LGBTQPolLabVU trainees is cited in a new @CDCgov fact sheet on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) among LGBTQ+ youth. CDC doesn't just summarize the science, they also highlight resources for parents of LGBTQ+ children available here:
People who identify as LGBTQ+ are more likely to experience a wide range of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) compared to heterosexual people. Check out this paper by our faculty member Nathaniel Tran, which is referenced in the sheet: #UIC

WHAT DID WE FIND? From our abstract. "Some providers believed that information about healthcare discrimination experiences could allow them to be more aware of and responsive to their patients' needs and to establish more trusting relationships.".

Thanks @statnews for covering our research as part of a piece on needs and challenges to LGBTQ+ inclusive data collection practices to address health inequities.
statnews.com
Historically, there’s been more of a focus on trans people in HIV research than in any other area of health care, but the lack of inclusive models demonstrate that it’s still not enough.
Asking 100 million people in the US about their sexual orientation and gender identity when they enroll for insurance. That's the bold idea @KevinHNguyenPhD and I explore in our newest for @JAMA_current. Read to learn why it matters and how it might get done.

IMPORTANTLY! Just 28% of sexual minority women who needed help with the activities above *DID NOT* get any informal or paid help compared to 12% unmet need in heterosexual women. (No meaningful difference of 14% heterosexual men v 16% sexual minority men).
