Health impacts of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression change efforts, and so-called “conversion therapy” on 2SLGBTQI+ populations

2SLGBTQI+ public health data and evidence remain scarce and limited by small sample sizes, yet the need for evidence is becoming more urgent given that 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Canada and abroad are increasingly at risk in the current social and political climate, where efforts to curb the human rights of 2SLGBTQI+ people are escalating, and they face persistent stigmatization and maltreatment. This review aims to provide evidence to support the protection and promotion of 2SLGBTQI+ populations’ health and well-being in Canada and will help inform policy advice and promising programs to mitigate the impact of stigma and discrimination
