Did you know that MCCR enforces Maryland's antidiscrimination laws with respect to the provision of Health Services? LGBTQ individuals face significant disparities in physical and mental health outcomes. Compared to their heterosexual counterparts, LGBTQ patients have higher rates of anal cancer, asthma, cardiovascular disease, obesity, substance abuse, cigarette smoking, and suicide.
- There are many causes of the health disparities faced by LGBTQ+ people. These include:
- The minority status of LGBTQ+ people
- A lack of specific education and training for health care workers
- A lack of clinical research on LGBTQ+ health-related issues
- Restrictive health benefits
- Limited role models
