这项研究的目的是描述一个大型学术医学中心的女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和变性人(LGBT)员工和学生所经历的气候和文化。一项匿名的在线机构氛围调查被用来评估LGBT员工和学生的态度和经历。共有42名LGBT和14名非LGBT调查参与者。结果显示，令人惊讶的是，尽管医疗中心制定了不歧视的政策，但仍有很大比例的LGBT个人承受着保持“闭门造车”的压力，并受到骚扰。持续的培训、包容性的政策和做法以及建立解决LGBT特有的骚扰问题的机制对于改善体制环境是必要的。
The purpose of this study was to characterize the climate and culture experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees and students at one large academic medical center. An anonymous, online institutional climate survey was used to assess the attitudes and experiences of LGBT employees and students. There were 42 LGBT and 14 non-LGBT survey participants. Results revealed that a surprisingly large percentage of LGBT individuals experienced pressure to remain "closeted" and were harassed despite medical center policies of non-discrimination. Continuing training, inclusive policies and practices, and the development of mechanisms to address LGBT-specific harassment are necessary for improving institutional climate.
