The selected population is people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) community. Evidence shows that most state and national surveys never asked sexual
orientation questions making it difficult to know their exact number and predict their health
needs. According to Hafeez et al. (2017), LGBT people are found in all social classes,
religions, races and ethnicities. The population was selected because its members face health
disparities linked to stigma in the community, stereotyping, and denial of human rights. The
health of the LGBT community is important as they are members of society, just like any
other minority group (Salerno et al., 2020). There is a need to eliminate health disparities
associated with the group and enhance efforts to improve their health. Addressing the health
needs of the LGBT community will lead to increased longevity, healthy lives, reduced
healthcare costs, increased mental and physical well-being and reduced disease transmission
and progression.
Prejudice against the LGBT community is linked to increased cases of substance
abuse, suicide and psychiatric disorders. Members of the LGBT community also experience
high rates of victimization and violence (Scheer et al., 2020). They are not accepted in their
families and society. Some do not have personal acceptance leading to serious issues of
personal safety and mental health. Healthy People 2010 highlighted the need for researchers
to engage the community to address the environmental factors contributing to their health
disparities. For that reason, there is a need to increase the number of state and national
surveys related to sexual orientation.
A research article for the chosen vulnerable population is “Health Care Disparities
among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth: A Literature Review” by Hafeez et
al. (2017).

The health disparities among the LGBT community can be divided into behavioral,
physical and access to care. Behavioral health disparities include addiction, substance abuse
and mental health. Evidence shows that LGBT members are at a higher risk of tobacco use,
alcohol and substance abuse, eating disorders, mood disorders and anxiety and suicide (Fish
& Krueger, 2020). The physical health risks include contracting HIV/AIDS, obesity and
chronic conditions with less social support. LGBT people also report higher anal and cervical
cancer and breast cancer rates and are less likely to have regular healthcare providers.
According to Byne (2014), LGBT members have less access to desired healthcare. They are
likely to report poor quality of care and unfair treatment by healthcare providers. They also
report a lack of cultural competence by the care providers, delayed care, and less likely to
have health insurance.
The advanced nursing care implications for LGBT patients focus on the provision of
compassionate healthcare. Healthcare providers should ensure nurses assigned to LGBT
people are culturally competent and aware of their unique needs (McCann & Brown, 2019).
Healthcare facilities should also create an inclusive environment through education on the
needs of the LGBT community. They should expand their knowledge on LGBT, especially
on issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. The current efforts to improve the health
of LGBT include recommending culturally competent nurses for LGBT members. The
federal government is also committed to collect data about the health risks of LGBT people
to identify their health disparities (Peel et al., 2016). Schools are urged to implement antibullying policies that target LGBT. There are community efforts to provide supportive social
services to reduce homelessness and suicide among members of the LGBT community.
