Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations by
Over the past decade, there have been remarkable changes in the social, political, and legal status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex (LGBTQI+) and other sexual and gender diverse populations in the United States. Sexual and gender diverse populations, however, remain at risk of social, political, and economic marginalization and continue to experience disparities in domains of well-being that include health, education, employment, and other areas of life. These disparities are particularly severe for LGBTQI+ people who are Black, Indigenous, or members of other communities of color. The 2011 Institute of Medicine report The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding was a landmark study that informed a decade of research, advocacy, and policy to improve the health and well-being of sexual and gender diverse populations. Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations builds on this body of work and highlights the need for heightened attention to the structural inequities that continue to exist for LGBTQI+ people, such as widespread gaps in public and private data collection on sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status. This report assesses the health and well-being of LGBTQI+ and other sexual and gender diverse populations across the life course and in relation to determinants of well-being such as family formation, community structures, law and policy, education, and employment. It uses an intersectional framework to assess the state of the science and provide recommendations for action-oriented research agendas to help government agencies, private entities, and other actors support and advance the well-being of LGBTQI+ people.
