Introduces constructs of sexual orientation and gender identity in the context of public health. Explores social, epidemiological, and historical perspectives related to the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and communities, and uses a case study approach to examine topics of particular salience for LGBT health. Designed to: 1) provide an overview of key LGBT health topics, 2) orient students to current and historic epidemiological and contextual issues that shape what is known about LGBT health, and 3) provide a foundation for critical thinking about LGBT health research questions and intervention potential.
