Internalized sexual stigma (ISS) is one of the major issues that can compromise the health of sexual minority populations. This quantitative study aimed to examine: (1) the relationships of individual factors (gender, age, education level, sexual orientation, and age of identification of sexual orientation) and perceived family support with ISS; and (2) the associations of ISS with mood problems and the moderating effects of gender on the associations among Taiwanese young adult lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. In total, 500 male and 500 female young adult LGB individuals aged between 20 and 30 years participated in this study. The experience of ISS, individual (e.g., gender, age, education level, sexual orientation, and age of identification of sexual orientation) and environmental factors (perceived family), mood problems (e.g., anxiety and depression) were collected. The individual and environmental factors related to ISS and the associations of ISS with mood problems were examined using multivariate linear regression analysis. The results indicated that gender, sexual orientation, age of identification of sexual orientation, and perceived family support were significantly associated with all or some dimensions of ISS in LGB individuals. Various dimensions of ISS had different relationships with anxiety and depression. Gender had moderating effects on the association between the identity dimension of ISS and sexual orientation as well as between the social discomfort dimension of ISS and anxiety. Various dimensions of ISS among LGB individuals should be routinely assessed by mental health service units. Intervention programs should be provided for LGB individuals, especially those with factors related to ISS.

Abstract Lesbian, gay, and bisexual-identified (LGB) people experience worse mental and physical health than their straight-identified counterparts. Given remarkable social and legal changes regarding LGB status in recent decades, we theorize that this profound health disadvantage may be changing across cohorts. Using data from the 2013–2018 National Health and Interview Surveys, we analyze five mental and physical health outcomes—psychological distress, depression, anxiety, self-rated physical health, and activity limitation—across three birth cohorts colloquially known as (1) Millennials, (2) Generation Xers, and (3) Baby Boomers and pre-Boomers. We find no evidence of reduced health disparities by sexual orientation across cohorts. Instead, relative to straight-identified respondents, the health disadvantages of gay, lesbian, and—most strikingly—bisexual-identified people have increased across cohorts. Findings highlight the importance of identifying the causes of increased health disparities as well as designing and implementing moredirect public policies and programs to eliminate health disparities among more recent LGB cohorts.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Brazil and to analyze associated factors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 3,859 MSM recruited in 2008–2009 with respondent driven sampling. Data collection conducted in health centers in 10 Brazilian cities. A face-to-face questionnaire was used and rapid HIV and syphilis tests conducted. Aggregated data were weighted and adjusted odds ratio estimated to measure the association between selected factors and self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation. RESULTS: The sample was predominantly young, eight plus years of schooling, pardo (brown), single, low-income, and identified themselves as gay or homosexual. The prevalence of self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation was 27.7% (95%CI 26.2–29.1). Discrimination was independently associated with: age < 30 years, more years of schooling,community involvement and support, history of sexual and physical violence, suicidal thoughts, and unprotected receptive anal intercourse. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of self-reported discrimination among MSM in Brazil is high. These results challenge the assumptions that MSM-specific prevention and support programs are not required or that health professionals do not need special training to address MSM needs.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze under the view of managers of primary school of the city of Cajazeiras/PB, how the theme “sexual orientation” has been incorporated in the pedagogic practices. Methodology: this is about a qualitative research performed in 2008, with eight managers of public schools, after has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Paraiba/UFPB through protocol number 1075. The semi-structured interview was elected as technique of investigation, and the empiric material obtained was submitted to the Technique of Analysis of Content, thematic modality. Results: it was highlighted that there is a commitment of the managers towards the insertion of the sexual orientation in the school context and that investments in the continued formation of educators have been done. However they recognize that the lacks of technical/ emotional preparation of the educators interfere in the effective deepening of this content. Attention is given to natural sciences and prevention education actions. Conclusion: intervention programs that reflect an orientation and/or political decision in the practice previously taken, could not guarantee their execution and/or deployment, as they require the understanding of the context that shapes and determines the representation of the actors. Descriptors: sexuality; sexual orientation; sexual behaviorRESUMO Objetivo: analisar sob a ótica dos gestores do ensino fundamental da cidade de Cajazeiras/PB como o tema “orientação sexual” vem sendo incorporado nas práticas pedagógicas.

Entretanto, reconhecem que a falta de preparo técnico/emocional dos educadores interfere na efetivação e aprofundamento desse conteúdo. Privilegia-se a área de ciências naturais e enfoque preventivista das ações educativas. Conclusão: programas de intervenção que na prática traduzem uma orientação e/ou decisão política previamente tomada, não garantem sua execução e/ou implantação, pois exigem a compreensão do contexto que molda e condiciona as representações dos atores.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to review the literature on group therapies for homosexuals who report distress concerning their experience of same-sex attraction. There are a number of methodological limitations to the research published between the 1950s and 1970s, and it is misleading to present this research as decisive evidence that sexual orientation can be changed. In addition, various contemporary professional and religion-based paraprofessional groups have been designed to bring about change of orientation, but few provide outcome data to support their claims of successful change. Psychologists should not dismiss these studies and programs as irrelevant to those who experience same-sex attraction and seek change, but they are challenged to design interventions and collaborate with existing programs to demonstrate efficacy and to clarify precisely what various interventions, programs, and support groups can accomplish.

Full textAbstract:
This two-part study included a content analysis of an AP art history text and a survey together with interviews with AP art history teachers that embraced both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The first phase of the study examined one of the more popular art history survey texts in the AP art history program, Gardner’s Art through the Ages, in terms of how inclusive it is in addressing issues of sexual orientation and, particularly, same-sex perspectives. In addition, the text was examined for evidence of sexual orientation ignored – particularly same-sex perspectives ignored and for heteronormative hegemonies. The second phase investigated the understandings and opinions of AP art history teachers toward the inclusion of sexual orientation and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums and classrooms. Recent recognition of gay, lesbian, and same-sex perspectives in the study of art history has challenged art educators and art historians to begin to consider opening up their curriculums and writings to include these perspectives. These ignored perspectives produce important understandings that enrich and deepen the discourse of art history. The inclusion of gay and lesbian content and same-sex perspectives to the study of AP art history, not only effectively serves the needs of AP art history teachers, but it provides a more equitable and comprehensive visual arts education to students. The implications of this study are broad and complex. If students are to be well and comprehensively educated in the history of the visual arts, including discussions about the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian artists as well as artworks depicting same-sex perspectives is important. Similarly, their teachers must be well-informed and believe that including such material in the curriculum is important. There is definitely a need for designing more balanced and equitable AP art history programs that include gay and lesbian artists as well as same-sex perspectives. From a multicultural art education perspective, this study reveals that gays and lesbians are marginalized in a major AP art history survey text. It illuminates how an AP art history survey text and AP art history teachers’ attitudes and knowledge base on same-sex perspectives inform their curriculums, specifically concerning what’s important to teach in an AP art history classroom. If approved AP art history survey texts as well as the influential annual AP College Board art history exam included issues of sexual orientation, particularly same-sex perspectives, it would encourage more AP art history teachers to include gay and lesbian artists and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums.

Full textAbstract:
It is likely that a counselor-in-training (CITs) will counsel a lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) client in practice. The American Counseling Association (ACA, 2014) and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2009) address ethical and training standards about counseling clients from diverse populations and multicultural counselor competence. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine master's-level CITs' perceived LGB counselor competence and potentially related and predictive factors including age, gender, religiosity, spirituality, personal relationships with LGB individuals, and having an "out" faculty or peer in the training program. This quantitative study included 105 CITs from CACREP accredited counselor education programs, surveyed from a national stratified sample, based on CACREP regions. The survey included the Sexual Orientation Counselor Competence Scale (Bidell, 2005), the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (Spreng, McKinnon, Mar, & Levine, 2009); a Religiosity Index (Statistics Canada, 2006), Spiritual Transcendence Index-Modified (Seidlitz et al., 2002), the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale-Sort Form C (Reynolds, 1982), and additional survey items to collect information on the number of personal relationships with LGB individuals (i.e., family, friends, faculty, and peers), age, gender and demographic information. Results indicated that CITs felt least competent in their skills to work with LGB clients and most competent in their attitudes towards LGB individuals. A regression analysis revealed that religiosity negatively predicts perceived LGB counselor competence and personal relationships with LGB individuals positively predicted LGB competence. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between having an "out" LGB peer in the training program and perceived LGB counselor competence. Implications suggest that counselor training programs increase the use of LGB themed case studies, role plays, and other classroom initiatives to help CITs meet the needs of their future LGB clients. An interesting finding in this study was the positive relationship between having an "out" LGB peer in the training program and increased LGB competence. Future research should investigate the dynamics of this relationship.

O presente estudo pretende investigar como o Projeto Saúde nas Escolas proposto pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação em parceria com a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Duque de Caxias foi recebido e desenvolvido por uma Escola da Rede Municipal. Buscou detectar como a Escola planeja e desenvolve seu programa de orientação sexual e se este vem proporcionando aos/às alunos/as possibilidades plurais de construção de suas identidades sexuais e do exercício de suas sexualidades. A geração de dados se fez por meio de análise documental, entrevistas, questionário, observação e grupo focal. Levantou opiniões de 3 implementadoras, 3 responsáveis por ministrar oficinas, 2 orientadoras educacionais, 1 diretora de escola, 8 professores/as e 6 alunos/as. A análise dos resultados permitiu identificar a preocupação em desenvolver um programa de orientação sexual centrado no direito, respeito ao próximo e na cultura, enfatizando a importância do cuidado de si, da saúde e da prevenção de doenças, assim como as múltiplas possibilidades da sexualidade entre os/as jovens. Este estudo apoiou-se principalmente na concepção de identidade na pós-modernidade de Stuart Hall; na visão socioconstrucionista de identidade desenvolvida por Luiz Paulo da Moita Lopes e Tomaz Tadeu da Silva; nos conceitos de sexualidade desenvolvidos por Deborah Briztman, Guacira Louro, Jeffrey Weeks e Judith Butler; nos modos de pensar as masculinidades de Elisabeth Badinter e Robert Connell. A pesquisa constatou que o discurso e a prática preconizados pelo projeto saúde nas escolas, assim como o programa de orientação sexual, além de investirem na promoção da saúde, visam fornecer subsídios que apóiam a construção das identidades sexuais e autonomia no exercício das sexualidades.This study aims at investigating how Health at Schools project, which is proposed by Caxias` Education Secretariat, in association with Health Secretariat, was accepted and developed by a government school. It attempted to understand how the school plans and develops its sexual educational program and if it offers the students a range of possibilities so that they can construct and experience automously their sexual identities. The data were collected by documental analysis, interviews, questionaries, observation and focus groups. It verified opinions of the three planners, three workshop leaders, two educational counselors, one school director, eight teachers and six students. The analysis of the results allowed us to identify a concern in developing a sexual orientation program focusing on human rights, respect towards the others and culture emphasizing self care, health care and disease prevention, as well as, multiple sexuality possibilities among youth. This research was mainly based on Stuart Halls identity conception, Luiz Paulo Moita Lopes` and Tomaz Tadeu da Silva`s socioconstructivist identity approach, Deborah Britzman`s,Guacira Louro`s, Jeffrey Weeks`and Judith Butler`s sexualities conceptions, as well as Elizabeth Badinter`s and Robert Connell`s ways of thinking masculinities. The study concluded that both discourse and practice emphasized during the development of the Health at Schools project and Sexual Orientation Program, besides aiming at health quality, also meant to promote sexual identity construction and sexual experiences.

Considerando a importância da família no processo de educação sexual e para a promoção do desenvolvimento da pessoa com deficiência mental, o objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar possíveis variáveis que possam ter influenciado as mudanças nos repertórios conceituais e de condutas de oito pais de adolescentes e adultos com deficiência mental, a partir de um Programa de Orientação Sexual que incluiu informações sobre conceitos e condutas em relação à sexualidade de pessoas com deficiência mental. O Programa de Orientação Sexual foi desenvolvido por meio de atividades e discussões norteadas por aspectos considerados relevantes constituídos por condições facilitadoras para a manifestação de dúvidas e angústias por parte dos participantes, inclusão de determinantes sociais na análise de situações que envolvam sexualidade, condições facilitadoras da identificação de valores e condutas presentes e influentes em situações que envolvam sexualidade, oferta de situações práticas /concretas envolvendo sexualidade e deficiência mental para exame pelos participantes e condições favorecedoras de exame da influência de valores e condutas dos pais sobre comportamentos dos filhos com deficiência mental. Foram compostos dois grupos independentes, cada um com pais de usuários de uma instituição diferente, ambos com igual número de participantes. Os dados para caracterização e verificação de eventuais mudanças de repertórios foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas estruturadas individuais. Com duas semanas de diferença para início, o programa foi aplicado em cinco sessões com cada grupo. Foi utilizado um delineamento do tipo antes e depois para cada grupo. Todas as mudanças observadas nos relatos dos participantes dos dois grupos, a partir da exposição ao programa, foram de desfavoráveis para favoráveis em termos de desenvolvimento da sexualidade da pessoa com deficiência mental, em relação a aspectos como: a) capacidade dos filhos com deficiência mental terem desejos sexuais, entender questões relativas à sexualidade, controlar suas manifestações sexuais e estabelecer vínculos afetivos; b) incentivo à ampliação dos contatos sociais e integração social; c) forma de tratamento dispensado ao membro com deficiência mental, em termos de compatibilidade com sua idade e maturidade emocional, estímulo ao desenvolvimento da autonomia e independência; d) comprometimento da família na educação sexual e oferta de informações sobre sexualidade e constrangimento ao lidar com questões envolvendo sexualidade; e) aceitação ou repressão às manifestações sexuais e reconhecimento do direito de seus filhos com deficiência mental exercer a sexualidade. As mudanças variaram em grau e distribuição de um grupo para outro, e dentro do mesmo grupo, para pessoas diferentes. Idade dos filhos, repertório inicial e características da instituição são algumas das variáveis que podem estar relacionadas a estas diferenças entre participantes e entre grupos.

A Organização das Nações Unidas tem adotado medidas importantes para proteger as pessoas LGBTI e promover a não discriminação com base na orientação sexual e identidade de gênero no plano internacional. As pessoas LGBTI são vítimas de violência e discriminação de forma consistente em todos os países do mundo e os seus direitos continuam a ser contestados pelos Estados-membros da ONU, que justificam tal opressão com o discurso do ódio, heterossexismo, antiocidentalismo, fundamentalismo religioso, relativismo cultural e outros. A partir deste contexto, a questão principal desta pesquisa consiste em: como o Sistema das Nações Unidas está construindo o reconhecimento dos direitos das pessoas LGBTI? Esta pergunta é respondida neste estudo qualitativo a partir de uma abordagem interdisciplinar que aborda teorias de relações internacionais, direitos humanos, Direito Internacional Público, decolonialidade, estudos de gênero e LGBTI. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa consiste em analisar o processo de reconhecimento dos direitos humanos das pessoas LGBTI nas Nações Unidas e para tal, descreve-se a trajetória histórica das categorias de orientação sexual e identidade de gênero nas Nações Unidas, analisam-se e classificam-se os discursos que se confrontam no debate sobre orientação sexual e identidade de gênero na ONU e pondera-se a possibilidade de uma convenção internacional sobre a eliminação da discriminação e violência baseadas na orientação sexual e identidade de gênero. Esta pesquisa propõe duas hipóteses, a primeira versa que: a ONU abriu espaço para o debate sobre o reconhecimento dos direitos humanos das pessoas LGBTI, mas ainda permanece polarizada em virtude do posicionamento heterossexista e heteronormativo, assim como a retórica da soberania sobre os direitos humanos, a instrumentalização dos direitos humanos para fins políticos, o fundamentalismo e o tradicionalismo religioso de Estados; a segunda estabelece que: é necessário promover a adoção de uma convenção internacional contra a discriminação e violência baseada na orientação sexual e identidade de gênero, bases estabelecidas no Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos sobre a questão. O estudo conclui que o reconhecimento dos direitos humanos das pessoas LGBTI foi dado a nível institucional por parte das autoridades da ONU, no entanto, há uma polarização entre os Estados membros e existe uma grande resistência quando a questão é debatida, especialmente pela ausência de uma base legal no direito internacional, e, por isso, é necessário promover a sua positivação.
The United Nations has taken important steps to protect LGBTI persons and to promote nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity at the international level. LGBTI people are victims of violence and discrimination constantly in all countries of the world and their rights continue to be in question by UN member states, who justify such oppression with hate speech, heterosexism, anti-Westernism, religious fundamentalisms, cultural relativism and others. Starting from this context the main question that crosses this investigation is; How is the United Nations system building the recognition of the rights of LGBTI persons?, this question is answered in this qualitative documentary study from an interdisciplinary approach that deals with theories of international relations, human rights, public international law, decoloniality, gender studies and LGBTI. The general goal of this research is to analyze the process of recognition of the human rights of LGBTI persons in the United Nations and for this it describes the historical trajectory of the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity in the United Nations, analyzes and classifies the State¿s discourses that are confronted in the debate on sexual orientation and gender identity in the UN and consider the potencial of an international convention on the elimination of discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Two hypotheses are proposed: (1) The UN has opened a space for debate on the recognition of the human rights of LGBTI persons; however, it still remains polarized because of the positioning of heterosexist, heteronormative states, as well as the rhetoric of sovereignty in human rights issues, instrumentalization Of human rights for political purposes, fundamentalism and religious traditionalism and (2) It is necessary to promote the adoption of an international convention against discrimination and violence by sexual orientation and gender identity that establishes the bases in international human rights law on the issue. The study concludes that recognition of the human rights of LGBTI people has been given at the institutional level by the UN authorities, but there is a polarization between Member States and widespread resistance when the subject is debated, in particular by the absence of a regime within the international law that serves as legal base, reason why it is necessary to promote its positivization.

The aim of this research study was to find out how adolescent girls engage in the process of sexual decision making in order to make recommendations for the development and presentation of the current Life Orientation Sexuality Education Programme in South African schools. As the results of this study are aimed at providing guidelines for the development and presentation of this specific programme, a qualitative interpretive descriptive research design was used, because this type of research design could have application implications. Purposive sampling was used where data were gathered by means of group work and individual interviews with 75 adolescent girls from three diverse high schools in the Western Cape. Naïve sketches and researcher’s journaling were utilised to ensure triangulation and to enhance the trustworthiness of the study. Research results were analysed inductively to make sure that the results were truly a description of participants’ responses on the topic of sexual decision making and sexuality education.
The results of this study indicated that adolescent girls’ sexual health is complex and that sexual decision making is impacted by a variety of influences from different contexts. Relationships with parents, teachers, other significant adults, peers as well as boyfriends impact sexual decision making in ways which encourage either sexual activity or sexual abstinence. It was also reported that the influences of different contexts like poverty, alcohol abuse at social gatherings as well as the media encourage girls to engage sexually. Participants furthermore reported on ways in which the current sexuality education programme fails and succeeds to meet their needs. They made recommendations on how to improve the sexuality education programme to make it more applicable to their lives. In general it was reported that adults are reluctant to discuss sexuality with adolescent girls which could put them at risk to a greater extent.
This study recommends that teachers and prospective health promoting professionals can adapt a more positive approach to speaking about sexuality, as this could encourage girls to be proud of their sexuality and view it as an integral part of being human to take ownership of. When girls view their sexuality in this way, they might be less reluctant to allow their sexuality to be exploited. Furthermore it is recommended that girls’ self-regulatory behaviour needs to be strengthened in order to be able to respond to the demands of different contexts by means of internal loci of control rather than the current tendency of behaviour to be directed by external factors. By including adolescent girls’ voices in the development and presentation of Life Orientation Sexuality Education, it could result in a more comprehensive programme which understands and meets the contemporary needs of girls which could promote their sexual and general health and well-being.MA (Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

AbstractSince SOGI considerations have started to inform the interpretation and the implementation of the Refugee Convention (Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-69441-8_1), a broad range of scholars from different disciplines have explored how questions of sexual orientation and gender identity can be effectively addressed within international, supranational and domestic asylum systems. The debate around aspects of RSD and beyond generated by this theoretical exchange within the same discipline and between different research areas has contributed to the (ongoing) normative movement towards a more inclusive Refugee Convention framework. In an attempt to nurture this continuous debate, we outline the theoretical and analytical frameworks that shape the subsequent analysis. We take advantage of the authors’ diverse experience in different academic fields to apply an interdisciplinary approach, addressing our subject from various perspectives. We start from the recognition that a detailed understanding and application of the Refugee Convention is vital as the floor for addressing SOGI asylum claims, but not in itself sufficient to ensure that these are fairly treated. Section 3.2 therefore looks to human rights to show how interweaving human rights frameworks with refugee law heightens understanding in this field of asylum. To this end, the main body of this chapter develops an approach that addresses the failings from a SOGI asylum perspective of international human rights law (IHRL) and international refugee law (IRL) individually. However, we then argue that, without explicitly recognising the gendered and sexualised nature of SOGI asylum, IHRL is only part of the solution. In Sects. 3.3 and 3.4 below, we claim that feminist and queer theories, and particular threads of debate within these broad disciplines, can help to understand the experiences of SOGI minorities fleeing persecution and, importantly, to explain why, despite improvements to the law and guidance that recognise the right to protection on this basis, there has been insufficient progress on the ground. In this way, combining a human rights-based approach that is largely legal with political and sociological contributions from feminism and queer theories facilitates a more holistic analysis.

LGBTQ youth face significant health disparities compared to heterosexual peers. School-based victimization of LGBTQ youth, as well as lower levels of school connectedness and perceived safety at school, have been implicated in those health disparities. Drawing on multivariate and population-based studies throughout the United States and Canada, this chapter explores the evidence that school connectedness can lower the odds of health-compromising behaviors and disparities among different subpopulations of LGBTQ youth. The authors review strategies for fostering school connectedness among the general population and consider how these strategies might fit or might need to be adapted for LGBTQ populations. The authors highlight evidence for programs and policies that improve school connectedness among LGBTQ students that is already available, especially evidence that these programs actually work to reduce health inequities. Schools, as key environments for young people, are important contributors to health for LGBTQ youth.

In response to increasing student diversity, universities have begun to implement programs that provide experiences so that students may expand their understanding of cultural differences. This chapter focuses on the implementation of inter-cultural programming in a large university in the northeastern United States. The university is highly-selective, draws students globally, and diversity is evident across racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, national, and religious identities. This chapter focuses on three signature programs and examines the programs' underlying theoretical frameworks, program implementation, and program outcomes. Each program is presented as a case and program evaluation data is utilized to understand the learning process. The advocacy group is the subject of a mixed methods research project and preliminary data will be presented. The chapter includes a discussion of best practices and links theoretical approaches to practice.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual obsessions are perhaps the least understood manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and include worries about sexual orientation, infidelity, sexual deviations, incest, pregnancy, and blasphemous thoughts. Although about 25% of those with OCD are believed to have symptoms with sexual themes (S-OCD), mental health professionals have difficulty making a proper diagnosis. Few clinicians know how to treat this form of OCD, and there are very few materials available to guide clinicians. Treatment using cognitive-behavioral principles is sometimes unconventional, and few therapists receive training in how to address S-OCD their academic programs. Even well-educated psychology students and practicing therapists have stigmatizing attitudes toward sexual obsessions compared to other types of OCD content. This manual takes the best cognitive-behavior therapy strategies for the treatment of OCD, and illustrates how to apply them to clients with S-OCD. It contains direct written step-by-step instructions for therapists as well as educational handouts and diagrams for clients to promote learning.

While the heterogeneity of public school students continues to grow, the demographics of classroom educators remain the same: Many students identify as part of traditionally marginalized groups according to their race, class, religious beliefs, gender identity, and sexual orientation, but teachers often identify as traditionally dominant groups of white, middle class, Christian, straight, and cis-gender. Thus, in order to effectively prepare elementary educators to work with diverse, marginalized students, there is a great gap that must be bridged. This chapter details how teacher preparations programs may be uniquely positioned to develop teachers' understanding and pedagogy for pluralistic and inclusive classrooms by exploring the multi-year, qualitative action research of one EC-6 teacher preparation program in the southern United States.

Even with affirmative action legislation and diversity programs, organizations struggle to create a diverse and inclusive 21st-century workplace. The purpose of this qualitative, classical Delphi study was to gain consensus among diversity leaders in the federal contractor community about best practices for the successful employment of diversity and inclusion in the workforce, both to meet affirmative action regulations and to incorporate 21st-century social categories, such as veterans, males, females, age, sexual orientation, minorities, disabilities, and LGBTQs. Incorporating a diverse workforce above and beyond the requirements of affirmative action gives companies a competitive advantage over companies that fail to do so.

Full textAbstract:
Trans care is not taught in conventional medical education programs, and very few doctors have the knowledge and comfort level to do so. A theoretical design study was carried out using the bibliographic review method, which allowed to provide a systematic framework of products in terms of scientific publications and official publications on the health of transgender people. In the Paraguayan context, it is recognized that sex work is the main economic activity of 86% of trans people, which although it is a job that is not punished in Paraguay, but neither is it recognized or regulated by law, although in Paraguay, numerous international instruments for the protection of human rights have been ratified, by which it is obliged to adopt measures to guarantee the sexual and reproductive health of all people and nondiscrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual violence experienced during military service can have lasting negative psychosocial effects on veterans long after service ends. Current research reports veterans who have experienced military sexual violence are more likely to develop mental health and substance use disorders. Little is known, though, about the relationship between military sexual violence and subsequent cannabis use disorder (CUD). The current study investigated prevalence of military sexual violence among a large sample of OEF/OIF veterans (N = 1,005), its effect on later CUD, and the potential moderating role of resilience. First, t-tests examined differences in experience of military sexual violence between LGBQ vs. heterosexual and female vs. male veterans. Then, using logistic regressions controlling for sex, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity, we assessed the effects of sexual violence on CUD (Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test score of 12 or higher), followed by adding resilience into the model to examine independent and moderation effects. T-test results indicated that female (t(99) = -7.46, p < 0.001) and LGBQ veterans (t(38) = -3.85, p < 0.001) were significantly more likely to experience military sexual violence. Veterans who experienced military sexual violence had higher odds of screening for CUD (OR = 3.37; 95% CI = [1.76, 6.45]). Greater resilience was associated with lower odds of CUD (OR = 0.40; 95% CI = [0.23, 0.70]), but it did not moderate the relationship between sexual violence and CUD. Our findings are in line with prior work that female and LGBQ veterans may experience sexual violence during military service at higher rates. We also showed that veterans who experience military sexual violence are at increased risk for subsequent CUD. This suggests the importance of screening for military sexual violence among veterans, including among those seeking care for CUD, as well as screening for CUD symptoms among those who have experienced military sexual violence. Since we found that greater levels of resilience were associated with lower odds of CUD, programs and treatments aimed at building resilience to adverse events may have independent protective effects on CUD.

Full textAbstract:
Approximately 40 million adults use marijuana annually, making marijuana one of the most commonly used substances in the United States (SAMHSA, 2019). Men and emerging adults (ages 18-25) report higher prevalence of cannabis use disorders (CUDs) relative to women and older adults (CBHSQ, 2015; Khan et al., 2013). More frequent marijuana use is associated with greater likelihood of suicidal ideation (Ilgen et al., 2009), and past year use in emerging adults is associated with future suicide attempts (Pedersen, 2008). Similar to correlates of marijuana use, emerging adults and men have higher rates of suicidality (SAMHSA, 2019; Krug et al., 2002). Limited research has tested gender and age differences in comorbid CUDs and suicidality. The current study evaluated gender and age differences in CUDs only, suicidality only, or comorbid CUDs and suicidality in a national sample of adults. We hypothesized that men and emerging adults would be over-represented in comorbid CUDs and suicidality and CUDs only groups. Data were from four consecutive years (2015-2018) of the National Survey of Drug Use and Heath. Multinomial logistic regressions tested gender and age differences in adults with DSM-IV cannabis abuse or dependence (CUDs) only, suicidality only, and comorbid CUDs and suicidality, all compared to adults with neither CUDs or suicidality. Four separate regressions were conducted for passive suicidal ideation, active suicidal ideation, suicide planning, and suicide attempts. Gender was coded as male or female. Age groups were 18–25, 26–34, 35–49, and 50 years or older. Analyses controlled for survey year, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, household income, past year major depressive episode, past year DSM-IV alcohol abuse or dependence, and past year illicit drug abuse or dependence other than CUDs. Men disproportionately reported CUDs only (ORs=1.73-2.19, p<.001) and comorbid CUDs and passive suicidal ideation, active suicidal ideation, and suicide planning (ORs=1.72-2.12, p<.01), but not attempts (OR=1.16, p=.45) relative to women. Men reported 22% higher odds of active suicidal ideation than women. Women reported 15% higher odds of suicide attempts than men. Gender differences in passive suicidal ideation and planning were not statistically significant. Compared to older age groups, emerging adults were significantly more likely to report CUDs only (ORs=1.74-10.49, p’s<.01) and showed 2.36 to 14.24 times greater odds of comorbid CUDs and all four forms of suicidality (p<.001). Emerging adults were at 18% to 66% higher odds of either passive or active suicidal ideation alone compared to all older age groups (p’s<.001). This study investigated the relations between CUDs, suicidality, gender, and age in a nationally representative sample of adults. Results indicated that men and emerging adults consistently reported the highest likelihood of negative outcomes. Next steps include determining the direction of the relationship between CUDs and increasing severity of suicidality. Further, development and investment in programs for emerging adults with CUDs and suicidality are vitally important given the striking risk profile compared to other age groups. Future research should include program development and evaluation as well as gathering more information on risk and protective factors for these populations.

Full textAbstract:
This review looks at the extent to which LGBT rights are provided for under law in a range of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and the record on implementation/enforcement, as well as approaches to promote LGBT rights and inclusion. SIDS covered are those in the Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic-Indian Ocean-South China Sea (AIS) regions. The review draws on a mixture of grey literature (largely from international development agencies/NGOs), academic literature, and media reports. While the information on the legal situation of LGBT people in SIDS was readily available, there was far less evidence on approaches/programmes to promote LGBT rights/inclusion in these countries. However, the review did find a number of reports with recommendations for international development cooperation generally on LGBT issues. Denial of LGBT rights and discrimination against LGBT people is found to varying extents in all parts of the world. It is important that LGBT people have protection in law, in particular the right to have same-sex sexual relations; protection from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation; and the right to gender identity/expression. Such rights are also provided for under international human rights conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while the Sustainable Development Goals are based on the principle of ‘leave no one behind'.
