L’objectif
The purpose of this exploratory qualitative descriptive study was to characterize LGBTQ+ people’s experiences in substance use (SU) services and recommendations for LGBTQ+- affirming care.
Constatations/points à retenir
LGBTQ+ people experience stigma and discrimination within SU services; supportive and affirming care is vital to reducing treatment barriers and promoting positive health outcomes. The current study offers concrete recommendations for how to deliver LGBTQ+-affirming care, which could reduce SU disparities and drug overdose mortality overall.
