Presented by Dr. Cristina Cusin and Dr. Alex Keuroghlian, this webinar will review the current evidence on the safety and efficacy of ketamine therapy for patients with treatment resistant major depressive disorder. We will present different methods for delivering ketamine and referring patients to treatment and explore other emerging depression treatments. These treatments will be discussed through the lens of providing high-quality, culturally responsive care for LGTBQIA+ patients.
Purpose: This toolkit provides strategies, tools, and learning resources to advance LGBTQIA+ inclusion in clinical research studies across the world.
This toolkit focuses on the implementation stage of training sites to successfully engage and retain LGBTQIA+ participants. Within the toolkit, you will find information on foundational LGBTQIA+ concepts and terminology, best practices for affirming transgender and gender diverse participants, and recommendations for collecting SOGI data as part of participant demographics. By learning these competencies, all study staff can become skilled and confident in supporting the dignity of LGBTQIA+ participants, and ultimately, can contribute to improving health equity for LGBTQIA+ communities.
Presented by Dr. Kevin Ard in collaboration with the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center, this webinar will update health centers on responding to outbreaks of syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections among MSM in their communities. Discussions will include culturally responsive, evidence-based screening, testing, treatment, and outreach in coordination with public health departments.
The visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and all sexually and gender diverse (LGBTQIA+) families is growing, reflecting the evolving landscape of contemporary society. It is estimated that 5 million American children live with a parent who identifies as LGBTQIA+, and nearly 170,000 children are being raised by same-sex couples. Among transgender adults in the U.S., 15-19% are currently a parent of a child under 18 years old. Given the large number of LGBTQIA+ families with children, it is crucial for health centers to recognize the unique and diverse configurations of families in order to meet their health care needs. Effectively providing care for LGBTQIA+ families with children requires a commitment to understanding and embracing their distinct experiences and challenges. By becoming more informed, adapting new terminology, and fostering a sense of community, health center care teams can significantly improve care experiences and health outcomes for all patients and families.
