Few studies have focused on the needs and experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) cancer survivors who may be at heightened risk for poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after cancer compared to heterosexual cancer survivors. Using data from the All of Us Research Program, researchers compared HRQOL outcomes (physical, mental, social) among LGB cancer survivors, and their heterosexual counterparts matched on age, gender identity, marital status, income, education, and cancer site. This talk will highlight several disparities in HRQOL that exist between LGB and heterosexual cancer survivors. 

When? June 21 on Zoom at 12 - 1pm PT

Description: PRIDEnet, based out of Stanford, formed a Black/African American/African diasporic LGBTQIA+ Advisory Group who provided feedback on ways that research projects can use more culturally competent and responsive community engagement strategies focused for this community. In this session, we'll share back an executive summary of recommendations, including the feedback that there was a lack of education around what health research is and why LGBTQIA+ representation is important. There is both misinformation and a lack of information about the health experiences of Black/African American/African diasporic LGBTQIA+ people. To increase representation of Black SGM people in health research, we need many people from the community to participate. To address this gap, PRIDEnet created a new interactive exhibit "Take PRIDE in Our Health Stories"! As a group we'll go through a guided exhibit tour, which will include learning how community-engaged health research can help advance LGBTQIA+ health care and having group conversations about topics of health and research.
