Implicit Bias
We have a bias when, rather than being neutral, we have a preference for (or aversion to) a person or group of people. Thus, we use the term “implicit bias” to describe when we have attitudes towards people or associate stereotypes with them without our conscious knowledge.
Much of this is “learned or inherited” by our own experiences or our parents expressions of these biases. If you grew up hearing that a certain group of individuals were whatever…(insert bias) you may subconsciously carry this bias into adulthood.
In order to provide culturally sensitive care, we must examine our own feelings toward certain individuals or groups of individuals and work to eliminate these biases. Many such biases result in healthcare disparities.
Culturally sensitive health care begins……with you!
Every healthcare provider needs to make an effort to understand the population he or she is caring for. Learn about different cultures and lifestyles. You need to identify your implicit biases to provide equitable, comfortable and compassionate care.

Things to consider in your healthcare setting specific to the LGBTQ+ Community
Is the setting welcoming and inclusive?
Offer gender neutral restrooms?
Are patients being asked their preferred pronouns or names?
Have you considered what your biases are toward this community?
Are posters, pamphlets, and other reading materials inclusive?
Have staff received any specific or general inclusivity training?

Some numbers to think about
9 million LGBTQ+
650,000 same sex couples
Adults who identify as LGBTQ+ =4.5%
Suicide is leading cause of death
30% of gay youth attempt suicide
20% of homeless youth are LGBTQ
61% of bisexual women report rape

Caring for the Individual
Women who only have sex with women do not need to discuss contraception, but do need STD screening.
Transgender men who still have female anatomy need the same screening as cisgender females i.e.: pap smears, STD testing, pelvic exams, breast exams but may be reluctant to do so.
Transgender females who are transitioning may be taking estrogen which increases risks associated with this including DVT, MI, CVA and need a breast exam.
Asking about the types of sexual activity the individual may be engaging in will direct your screening.
Why is this important????
As you enter the workforce as an Advanced Practice Provider, you want to be part of the solution rather than perpetuating the problem of the health care disparities among various populations.
Regardless of the differences between you and your patient whether it be race, religion, languages spoken, sexual identity and or preferences, you need to educate yourself regarding the patient’s needs to be able to provide the best health care.
Work to identify and eliminate your own biases.
Strive to make your healthcare setting a JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE!
