尽管女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋和变性人（LGBT）人群经历了显着的健康差异，但很少有隶属于美国国立卫生研究院资助的临床和转化科学奖项目的研究人员正在进行与这一服务不足的人群相关的研究。我们在为期半天的研讨会上分享了一些建议，旨在提高研究人员进行LGBT研究的准备程度。本次研讨会是作为一系列的一部分进行研究，由招聘，保留和社区参与计划的临床和转化科学中心在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥提供的服务不足的人群。六位LGBT健康研究专家提供了重点介绍。研讨会的发言包括对重大健康不平等问题的总结，与LGBT健康研究相关的理论模型，衡量性取向和性别认同的最佳做法，招聘和保留建议，社区参与的讨论，以及开展LGBT研究的道德考虑因素。我们提供了一个建议的摘要，以指导未来的研究，培训和公共政策有关LGBT健康。这些信息可以提高临床和转化科学奖附属研究人员在这一特殊人群中进行研究的能力。
Despite the significant health disparities experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations, few investigators affiliated with the National Institutes of Health-funded Clinical and Translational Science Award Programs are conducting research related to this underserved population. We provide recommendations shared during a half-day workshop aimed at increasing researcher readiness to conduct LGBT research. This workshop was presented as part of a series on conducting research with underserved populations offered by the Recruitment, Retention, and Community Engagement Program of the Center for Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Six LGBT health research experts provided focused presentations. The workshop presentations included a summary of significant health inequality issues, theoretical models relevant to research on LGBT health, best practices in measuring sexual orientation and gender identity, recommendations for recruitment and retention, a discussion of community engagement, and ethical considerations in conducting LGBT research. We provide a summary of recommendations to guide future research, training, and public policy related to LGBT health. The information can increase capacity among Clinical and Translational Science Award affiliated researchers in conducting research in this special population.
