Health disparities among LGBT persons LGBT youth: more likely to attempt suicide Lesbians: less likely to get preventive services for cancer Gay men: higher risk of HIV/STDs, especially among communities of color Transgender persons : high prevalence of HIV/STDs, mental health issues, suicide Lack of providers knowledgeable and culturally competent in LGBT health http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-health

Taking a Sexual History EHRs certified for meaningful use must enable collection of data on sexual orientation/gender identity Where the patient chooses to disclose this information, [it] can help the patient s care team in identifying interventions and treatments most helpful to the particular patient.
