Studies over the last decade have consistently shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities are disproportionately impacted by tobacco use. These high smoking rates have been attributed to the stress of coming out, active targeting by the tobacco industry, and the vicious cycle of seeing peers smoke.
This free online course reviews the scientific literature on tobacco use and tobacco-related health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations.
Feature-rich content and interactive exercises in this free online course help participants understand course materials, allowing them to apply principles learned in their clinical practices.
At the completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Describe key components of providing healthcare to LGBT persons in a culturally competent way
- Describe basic concepts related to LGBT health
- Apply evidence-based brief interventions for smoking cessation in clinical practice
