LGBQ+的人比其他人的健康状况更差。一些传播研究发现，LGBQ+个人报告在卫生保健中期到后期得到的护理较差，但本研究假设LGBQ+个人已经接受了护理。很少有研究考察LGBQ+个体在相遇前到早期的经历。这项研究对LGBQ+个体在遭遇前和早期的经历中如何寻求对同性恋友好的医疗服务进行了探索性研究。使用访谈方法，我们报告了LGBQ+个人报告的寻求同性恋友好护理的促进者和障碍。我们为医疗保健提供者和系统如何更好地促进对同性恋友好的医疗保健提供了启示。
LGBQ+ individuals experience worse health outcomes than do other individuals. Some communication research finds that LGBQ+ individuals report receiving poor care during the mid- to post-health care, but this research assumes that LGBQ+ individuals have already received care. Little research has examined the pre- to early encounter experience of LGBQ+ individuals. This study presents exploratory research into how LGBQ+ individuals seek "queer-friendly" health care during pre- and early encounter experiences. Using an interview methodology, we report the facilitators and barriers to seeking queer-friendly care reported by LGBQ+ individuals. We offer implications for how health care providers and systems can better promote queer-friendly healthcare.
