Project summary/abstract The 2017 LGBTQ Health Conference will bring together leading researchers and practitioners, trainees and students to bridge research and practice with the aim of addressing health disparities for LGBTQ populations. This proposal requests funding for a 3-day conference in Chicago, the 5th annual LGBTQ Health Conference, organized by a long-term successful academic-community partnership between the Northwestern IMPACT LGBT Health and Development Program (now the Northwestern Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing) and Center on Halsted, the most comprehensive LGBTQ community center in the Midwest. The conference aims to improve both research and practice on LGBTQ health by convening leading practitioners and researchers to present and discuss cutting-edge translational findings in the field; to train the next generation of practitioners and researchers in LGBTQ health; and to disseminate the findings to a broad group of audiences that includes the general public, policymakers, LGBTQ communities nationwide in addition to academics, clinicians and service providers. A major goal of the conference is to increase participation by traditionally underrepresented groups in science, including women and transgender people, racial/ethnic minorities and people with disabilities, not only as audience members but as organizers, presenters, keynote speakers and moderators. In the past, our LGBTQ Health Conferences have stimulated new research and collaborations, trained clinicians and service providers, and created opportunities for trainees, students, and junior investigators to learn and connect with leaders in the field. We plan to build on our past accomplishments to expand the 2017 Conference from one to three days, thus increasing the number of lectures, panel sessions, networking opportunities, poster presentations and by expanding our successful Professional Development Institute. The overall goal of this Conference is to catalyze research to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities among LGBTQ people. These disparities are severe and affect LGBTQ people's life expectancy, mental and physical health, access to and quality of care, and overall quality of life. Critical disparities are found in risk and incidence of mental health issues including suicide, substance abuse, HIV and other STIs and are linked to minority status, stigma, discrimination, and denial of human and civil rights. As is the case among other minorities experiencing disparities, these disparities are not born equally among all LGBTQ people: transgender people, LGBTQ people of color and low-income people bear a disproportionate burden of these disparities. The proposed 2017 LGBTQ Health Conference will be a unique opportunity to gather the best knowledge and practice in the field through an intersectional lens to improve the lives of all LGBTQ people.

项目概要/摘要 2017 年 LGBTQ 健康会议将汇集领先的研究人员和从业者、学员和 学生将研究和实践联系起来，旨在解决 LGBTQ 人群的健康差异。 该提案要求为在芝加哥举行的为期 3 天的第五届年度 LGBTQ 健康会议提供资金， 由 Northwestern IMPACT 之间长期成功的学术界合作伙伴组织 LGBT 健康与发展计划（现为西北性与性别少数研究所） Health and Wellbeing）和霍尔斯特德中心（Center on Halsted），该中心是该地区最全面的 LGBTQ 社区中心 中西部。本次会议旨在通过召集领先者来改善 LGBTQ 健康的研究和实践 从业者和研究人员展示和讨论该领域的前沿转化研究成果；训练 LGBTQ 健康领域的下一代从业者和研究人员；并将调查结果广泛传播 受众群体包括公众、政策制定者、全国 LGBTQ 群体 学者、临床医生和服务提供商。会议的一个主要目标是提高与会者的参与度 传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和变性人、种族/族裔 少数族裔和残疾人，不仅作为观众，而且作为组织者、演讲者、主旨演讲者 发言人和主持人。过去，我们的 LGBTQ 健康会议激发了新的研究和 合作，培训临床医生和服务提供者，并为受训者、学生和 初级研究人员可以学习并与该领域的领导者建立联系。我们计划在过去的基础上再接再厉 成果将 2017 年会议从 1 天延长至 3 天，从而增加了参会人数 讲座、小组会议、交流机会、海报展示以及通过扩大我们的成功 专业发展学院。 本次会议的总体目标是促进研究以减少并最终消除健康差距 LGBTQ 人群中。这些差异非常严重，影响 LGBTQ 人群的预期寿命、精神和健康状况。 身体健康、获得护理的机会和质量以及整体生活质量。重大差异存在于风险和 心理健康问题的发生率，包括自杀、药物滥用、艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染，并与 少数群体地位、耻辱、歧视以及对人权和公民权利的剥夺。正如其他情况一样 尽管少数群体经历着不平等，但这些差异并不是在所有 LGBTQ 人群中平等产生的： 跨性别者、LGBTQ 有色人种和低收入人群承受着不成比例的负担 差异。拟议的 2017 年 LGBTQ 健康会议将是一个聚集最优秀人士的独特机会 通过交叉镜头了解该领域的知识和实践，以改善所有 LGBTQ 人群的生活。
