Members of the LGBTQ population, due to discrimination from the general public as well as healthcare providers, have generally poorer health outcomes than their heterosexual counterparts. Fear of stigma contributes to this community’s avoidance of the healthcare system and delays their evaluation until disease is often advanced. On the other side, nurses don’t have the skills and knowledge to effectively treat their LGBTQ patients. While nursing education programs have begun including content related to this community, it is often minimal and crammed into curricula that are already packed with content. In an effort to increase knowledge and improve attitudes of nursing students toward the LGBTQ community, a research study targeting undergraduate community health nursing students in an urban, public Midwestern university. In this non-experimental mixed-methods study, nursing student knowledge and attitudes towards the LGBTQ population were examined before and after implementation of an interactive learning module including an in-class lecture module, discussion/reflection questions, a simulation activity and a panel with members of the LGBTQ community.
