2SLGBTQ+ patients' experiences in the pharmacy in British Columbia, Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional people who identify as part of sexual and gender diverse communities (2SLGBTQ+) experience worse health outcomes than cisgender heterosexual counterparts. This is attributable to structural oppression within the health care system, which manifests as health care providers' lack of knowledge and training in 2SLGBTQ+ health.

Methods

This cross-sectional, mixed-methods survey targeted 2SLGBTQ+ community members 14 and older in British Columbia to understand aspects of pharmacy care in the province. The survey asked participants about their experiences with the pharmacy environment, the pharmacist, and the competencies they thought were most important for pharmacists to provide inclusive
