This course explores the current knowledge about the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations. Students will develop an understanding of the historical milestones in identifying LGBT populations and how social science disciplines went about understanding these populations’ health. The course emphasizes methodological strategies, analytical thinking, the barriers to obtaining adequate information on LGBT populations, and current gaps in knowledge of health disparities due to sexual orientation, differences within LGBT populations, and will formulate new research ideas that have potential of moving the field of LGBT health forward.
