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

For children and youth, summertime presents a unique break from the
traditional structure, resources, and support systems that exist
during the school year. For some students, this time involves
opportunities to engage in fun and enriching activities and
programs, while others face additional challenges as they lose a
variety of supports, including healthy meals, medical care,
supervision, and structured programs that enhance development.
Children that are limited by their social, economic, or physical
environments during the summer months are at higher risk for worse
academic, health, social and emotional, and safety outcomes. In
contrast, structured summertime activities and programs support
basic developmental needs and positive outcomes for children and
youth who can access and afford these programs. These discrepancies
in summertime experiences exacerbate pre-existing academic
inequities. While further research is needed regarding the impact
of summertime on developmental domains outside of the academic
setting, extensive literature exists regarding the impact of
summertime on academic development trajectories. However, this
knowledge is not sufficiently applied to policy and practice, and
it is important to address these inequalities. Shaping Summertime
Experiences examines the impact of summertime experiences on the
developmental trajectories of school-age children and youth across
four areas of well-being, including academic learning, social and
emotional development, physical and mental health, and
health-promoting and safety behaviors. It also reviews the state of
science and available literature regarding the impact of summertime
experiences. In addition, this report provides recommendations to
improve the experiences of children over the summertime regarding
planning, access and equity, and opportunities for further research
and data collection. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
