Cited in Scopus: 0The overall goal in caring for all youth, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ), is to promote normal adolescent development, social and emotional well-being, physical health, and reduce any associated physical and mental health risks (Adelson, Stroeh, & Ng, 2016; American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2013; AAP, 2018). While many LGBTQ youth navigate adolescence as well as their heterosexual peers, others are exposed to social stigma, discrimination, prejudice, and victimization (both mental and physical; Earnshaw et al., 2017).
