Book Description
This study is a secondary analysis of data from the2015 Puerto Rico School Climate Survey (PRSCS),who explored the relationships between a hostile school climate, depression, and self-esteem of LGBTQ students. The PRSCS was part of the 2015 National School Climate Survey (NSCS), a larger study about the experiences ofLGBTQ secondary school students, conducted by GLSEN throughout the USA every two years. The PRSCS sample consisted of two hundred and eleven students (N=211),and the age of the participants was between13 and 20 years old. The results suggest that LGBTQ students in Puerto Rico that experienced discriminatory practices at school, as well as the students that experienced victimization in school based on sexual orientation were more prone to develop depression symptomatology than the students who had not. Experiences of anti-LGBTQ remarks based on sexual orientation or gender expression, victimization based on gender expression and feeling unsafe at school were not associated to depression symptoms in the participants. The self-esteem of the participants did not differ significantly by experiencing discriminatory practices, anti-LGBTQ remarks based on sexual orientation or gender expression, victimization based on sexual orientation and gender expression, or by feeling unsafe in school. Schools in Puerto Rico should ensure that school policies and practices do not discriminate against LGBTQ students. To provide a safe environment that promotes the psychological well-being of LGBTQ students, schools in Puerto Rico need to be safe and affirming places for all.

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies
Author: Abbie E. GoldbergPublisher: SAGE Publications, Incorporated
ISBN: 1544393822
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1023
Book Description
Transgender studies, broadly defined, has become increasingly prominent as a field of study over the past several decades, particularly in the last ten years. The experiences and rights of trans people have also increasingly become the subject of news coverage, such as the ability of trans people to access restrooms, their participation in the military, the issuing of driver’s licenses that allow a third gender option, the growing visibility of nonbinary trans teens, the denial of gender-affirming health care to trans youth, and the media’s misgendering of trans actors. With more and more trans people being open about their gender identities, doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, educators, higher education administrators, student affairs personnel, and others are increasingly working with trans individuals who are out. But many professionals have little formal training or awareness of the life experiences and needs of the trans population. This can seriously interfere with open communications between trans people and service providers and can negatively impact trans people’s health outcomes and well-being, as well as interfere with their educational and career success and advancement. Having an authoritative, academic resource like The SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies can go a long way toward correcting misconceptions and providing information that is otherwise not readily available. This encyclopedia, featuring more than 300 well-researched articles, takes an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to trans studies. Entries address a wide range of topics, from broad concepts (e.g., the criminal justice system, activism, mental health), to specific subjects (e.g., the trans pride flag, the Informed Consent Model, voice therapy), to key historical figures, events, and organizations (e.g., Lili Elbe, the Stonewall Riots, Black Lives Matter). Entries focus on diverse lives, identities, and contexts, including the experiences of trans people in different racial, religious, and sexual communities in the United States and the variety of ways that gender is expressed in other countries. Among the fields of studies covered are psychology, sociology, history, family studies, K-12 and higher education, law/political science, medicine, economics, literature, popular culture, the media, and sports.

The Equal Curriculum
Author: James R. LehmanPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030240258
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
This first-of-its-kind textbook marks a revolutionary effort to reform medical education nationally by providing a comprehensive, high-quality resource to serve as a foundation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) health education across multiple disciplines. Addressing the decades-long unequal weight of medical education generally offered about the care of LGBTQ people, The Equal Curriculum was created to advance clinicians' competencies in optimizing the health of LGBTQ people. This textbook is designed to be integrated into health sciences curricula and offers pointed strategies to evaluate the integration of LGBTQ health topics. Starting with a brief overview, chapters 1 through 4 cover general content that is highly relevant to all health professionals working with LGBTQ people. Chapters 5 through 12 focus on specific patient populations and clinical specialties, and chapters 13 and 14 cover special topics. Key points in each chapter are highlighted to aid in the comprehension, and case vignettes are provided throughout the textbook, allowing learners to apply the content to clinical scenarios in order to evaluate how the application of relevant knowledge may impact health outcomes. Questions similar to National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) style are provided in most chapters to assist in the application of content. As major addition to the clinical literature, The Equal Curriculum: Student and Educator Guide to LGBTQ Health should be of great interest to health sciences instructors, medical students in their preclinical and clinical phases, and trainees from other disciplines, such as physician assistants, nurses, social workers, and public health professionals.
