LAS VEGAS, NV — (04-03-24) — According to a new KFF Survey released on Wednesday, 1 in 3 LGBT adults say a health care provider has disrespected or treated them unfairly, twice the rate of adults who don’t identify as LGBT.
The results of the KFF Survey indicate that the negative interactions with the health care system by LGBT patients are also leading to worse health care outcomes.
BREAKDOWN:
LGBT adults were much more likely to report having a bad experience with a provider that caused their health to get worse (24% vs. 9%), made them less likely to seek out care (39% vs. 15%) or led them to switch providers (36% vs. 16%).
While those numbers seem grim, most LGBT adults say they’ve had positive experiences with providers who understood and respected their cultural values and beliefs and involved them in their care.
