性和性别少数群体（SGM）可能会受到2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行等突发卫生事件的不成比例的影响。卫生专业人员必须立即采取措施，确保对SGM人群的公平待遇。这些步骤是：（1）保持和加强对SGM人群的文化响应培训和准备，（2）在监测中增加使用性取向和性别认同措施，（3）研究COVID-19对SGM人群的影响，以及（4）在备灾计划中纳入以公平为重点的举措。这些促进公平的行动将开始使我们目前的卫生系统能够更适当地照顾SGM人群。
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations may be affected disproportionately by health emergencies such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Health professionals must take immediate steps to ensure equitable treatment of SGM populations. These steps are to (1) maintain and increase cultural responsiveness training and preparedness for SGM populations, (2) increase use of sexual orientation and gender identity measures in surveillance, (3) conduct research on the impacts of COVID-19 on SGM populations, and (4) include equity-focused initiatives in disaster preparedness plans. These actions toward equity would begin to allow for our current health system to care more appropriately for SGM populations.
