- Abstract:
- In the Listening to Black Californians study, Black LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, queer/questioning, and more) Californians are more likely to report specific negative experiences in the health care system compared to Black Californians overall. California has the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender population of any state in the nation - 2.7 million residents. This study included an oversample of Black Californians who identify as LGBTQ+ in order to learn more about the health care experiences of this understudied population. This study included one-hour interviews with 13 Black LGBTQ+ Californians, two focus groups with LGBTQ+ participants, and 330 survey respondents who identified as LGBTQ+. About half of these survey respondents (51%) identified as female, 48% identified as male, and 1% identified as nonbinary. Six percent of LGBTQ+ survey respondents identified as transgender. LGBTQ+ survey respondents were younger than respondents overall; 60% were 18 to 34 years old, compared to 30% of all other respondents. And they were more likely to have incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level (39%), compared to non-LGBTQ+ respondents (27%). This was particularly true for LGBTQ+ women (47%).
