In recent years, there has been a significant surge in research concerning the health and well-being of sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals, coinciding with a period of heightened social, political, and legal discourse surrounding SGM persons. While this attention has brought about increased understanding and recognition of SGM experiences, recent advancements have often faced resistance and backlash, stemming from deeply ingrained social stigma and long histories of discrimination. This comprehensive volume of Advances in Medical Sociology presents a rich tapestry of theoretical and empirical contributions that explore the multifaceted aspects of SGM health and well-being. The chapters herein address a diverse range of topics, drawing from both classic and contemporary sociological frameworks and constructs, while also reflecting intersecting interdisciplinary approaches to SGM health.
The research presented within this volume offers a comprehensive focus on sexual and/or gender minority populations, as well as the diverse sub-populations within them. It delves into theoretical and empirical explanations for SGM health disparities and resilience, examines aging and life course perspectives on the health experiences of SGM individuals, explores the health implications in the context of critical relationships in the lives of SGM persons, and sheds light on the experiences of seeking general and specialized healthcare among SGM.
Given the urgency of addressing the social determinants of SGM health, this volume aims to contribute to filling existing gaps in the literature. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, healthcare professionals, and activists alike, fostering a deeper understanding of the unique health challenges and experiences faced by SGM individuals and advocating for their rights and well-being.
