Prerequisite(s): LAS 200 or permission of the instructor
Public health institutions are beginning to recognize the important population, contextual and prevention issues that are emerging as communities of people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities are themselves gaining recognition. In recent years, medical and public health organizations have increasingly considered lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities as special populations with distinct needs. This is an undergraduate public health course that examines from critical psycho social perspectives a series of health issues that are experienced by a diverse array of sexually marginalized populations, namely lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).
