A Recorded Webinar
Recorded on Thursday February 25, 2021
Jump to Course Contents
Description
LGBTQ+ identifying individuals are more likely to develop a substance use disorder (SUD), and transgender individuals are more likely to seek treatment than the general population (NIDA, 2017). These data trends can vary for LGBTQ+ individuals who are Black or Latino. Some individuals report refusing treatment or leaving against medical advice due to misgendering and discrimination. This presentation will summarize the disproportionate impact of addiction on LGBTQ+ identifying individuals, describe the etiology of LGBTQ+ addiction, and explain how treatment providers can alleviate the stigma and barriers to quality care.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to summarize the disproportionate impact of addiction on LGBTQ+ identifying individuals.
- Participants will be able to describe the etiology of LBGTQ+ addiction, including topics such as acceptance, homelessness, and racism.
- Participants will be able to identify actions that will alleviate the stigma and barriers facing LGBTQ+ identifying individuals, as well as possible methods to create sustainable resources for assistance.
