PHILADELPHIA Being an LGBTQ person in Pennsylvania means a greater chance of having serious health needs and less access to healthcare to meet those critical needs. So says the 2020 Pennsylvania LGBTQ Health Needs Assessment administered by the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, in partnership with Pennsylvania Department of Health and Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC).
The Pennsylvania LGBTQ Health Needs Assessment measures the health disparities of LGBTQ Pennsylvanians with regard to HIV, cancer, tobacco, mental health, alcohol and other drug usage, healthy eating and active living, food and housing security, intimate partner violence, experiences with discrimination and violence, access to healthcare, quality of healthcare and other key metrics.
