This year’s Population Health Spotlight focuses on a range of pressing issues related to LGBTQ+ health and implications for policies and action.
Many structural and systemic factors impact the health of LGBTQ+ people, creating health related challenges and disparities. Recent legislative actions across the United States have further amplified these impacts and have highlighted the need to address LGBTQ+ health as a core component of population health and health equity.
