Sexual and Gender Minority Health (Advances in Medical Sociology-Volume 21) – PDF

Research into the health of sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals has grown significantly in recent years. Due to increased social, political, and legal discourse surrounding this group, understanding and recognition of SGM experiences has also greatly improved. However, these advances have been met with resistance rooted in social stigma and years of discrimination. This Advances in Medical Sociology volume, Exploring Sexual and Gender Minority Health – Elevating Knowledge and Understanding, brings together rich theoretical and empirical contributions to SGM health and wellbeing.

The chapters in this volume delve into various SGM topics, with contributions from both classic and contemporary sociological frameworks. Interdisciplinary approaches to SGM health are also reflected upon. The research presented provides a deep focus on sexual and gender minority populations and the diverse sub-populations within them. It also offers theoretical and empirical explanations for SGM health disparities and resilience, and aging and life course perspectives on the health experiences of SGM individuals.

Furthermore, this volume addresses health within the context of critical relationships in the lives of SGM individuals, as well as their experiences while seeking general and specialized health care. As the examination of social determinants of SGM health is long overdue, this volume aims to fill gaps in the literature and promote further research.
