This chapter uses several frameworks to describe the types of trauma that are commonly faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBT) people, how these experiences influence LGBT patient expectations of healthcare treatment and treatment outcomes, and how providers can offer care that is LGBT-affirmative, culturally responsive, and embeds patient advocacy within its approach. A multilevel model is used to frame the types of discrimination and trauma that LGBT people often experience. The biopsychosocial model, trauma theory, and resilience theory are used to provide a structure for conceptualizing LGBT trauma experiences. The chapter ends with a trauma-informed care model that can be used to improve healthcare for LGBT patients.URL
