The increase in prevalence and visibility of sexually gender
diverse (SGD) populations illuminates the need for greater
understanding of the ways in which current laws, systems, and
programs affect their well-being. Individuals who identify as
lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, or
intersex, as well as those who express same-sex or -gender
attractions or behaviors, will have experiences across their life
course that differ from those of cisgender and heterosexual
individuals. Characteristics such as age, race and ethnicity, and
geographic location intersect to play a distinct role in the
challenges and opportunities SGD people face. Understanding the
Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations reviews the available evidence
and identifies future research needs related to the well-being of
SDG populations across the life course. This report focuses on
eight domains of well-being; the effects of various laws and the
legal system on SGD populations; the effects of various public
policies and structural stigma; community and civic engagement;
families and social relationships; education, including school
climate and level of attainment; economic experiences (e.g.,
employment, compensation, and housing); physical and mental health;
and health care access and gender-affirming interventions. The
recommendations of Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+
Populations aim to identify opportunities to advance understanding
of how individuals experience sexuality and gender and how sexual
orientation, gender identity, and intersex status affect SGD people
over the life course. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary PART
