4. Elevating LGBT Health in the U.S.
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services recommended 14 actions to
improve the health and well-being of the LGBT
communities.
5 Examples of Recommended Actions:
Healthy People 2020
The Affordable Care Act
Anti-Bullying Efforts
Improvements in Foster and Adoptive Care
Runaway and Homeless Youth Services
5. Elevating LGBT Health in the U.S.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Recommended 6 Future Actions (2011).
Example of 2 Future Recommended Actions:
LGBT Cultural Competency Curricula
Increase the number of federally funded surveys
collecting data on Sexual Orientation and Gender
Identity (starts 2013)
7. Goals and Objectives
The goal of this data scan is to provide a
baseline of LGBT health in Colorado
To accomplish this goal, we have 2 Objectives
1. Provide data from two population-based surveys
assessing youth and adults
2009 Boulder County Youth Risk Behavior Survey
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
2. Provide data from convenience-sample survey of
adults
One Colorado Educational Fund’s Needs Assessment
9. Overview: Population-based Sampling
Population-based sampling is a probability
sampling method which selects a subset of
individuals from within a population to yield some
knowledge about the whole population.
Strengths of Population-based Sampling
Cost: cheaper to sample group than whole population
Time: data collection is faster
Extrapolation: can generalize results to whole population
Boulder County YRBS (generalize results about Boulder Youth)
Colorado BRFSS (generalize results about Colorado adults)
Weakness of Population-based Sampling
Accuracy: for small populations, need to aggregate years
Story: does not tell a full story
10. Overview: Convenience Sampling
Convenience sampling is a type of non-probability
sampling in which the sample is drawn from a
population because the sample is readily available
and convenient.
Strengths of Convenience Sampling
Cost: cheaper than probability sampling
Time: data collection is very fast
Small and difficult to reach populations
One Colorado Education Fund’s Needs Assessment (LGBT
community)
Provides insight for new questions to be asked on population-based
surveys
Weaknesses of Convenience Sampling
Extrapolation: can NOT generalize results to whole population

26. THE HEALTH OF LGB ADULTS IN
COLORADO
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
2006 – 2009
27. Background
According to the Williams Institute at
UCLA School of Law, it is estimated that
more than 186,000 LGBT individuals
live in Colorado, including 12,000
transgender people.
28. Background: LGBT Health
Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2006 – 2009)
Very few federal and state health surveillance
surveys include measures of respondents’ sexual
orientation
Research from non-population-based surveys
provides evidence of health disparities among
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
populations
Healthy People 2020, the US Department of Health
and Human Services, the Institute of Medicine, and
others call for increased efforts to study and to
improve LGBT health
29. Background: Sexual Orientation and
the BRFSS
Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2006 – 2009)
Few states have added sexual orientation to the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS)
Recently published results from Massachusetts and
Washington provide evidence of LGBT health
disparities
Conron et al., AJPH, October 2010
Dilley et al., AJPH, March 2010
Colorado added sexual orientation to its BRFSS in
2006
30. Methods: Colorado’s BRFSS Question
Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2006 – 2009)
“Research has shown that some sexual minority
community members have important health risk
factors. We are collecting information about sexual
orientation to learn whether this is true in Colorado.
Do You consider yourself to be: Heterosexual, that is, straight;
Homosexual, that is, gay or lesbian; Bisexual, or something
else?
Survey Does NOT measure Gender Identity

49. Conclusions
Disparities in health behaviors and health conditions
do exist between Colorado’s heterosexual and LGB
populations
LGB populations are not homogenous
The prevalence of health behaviors and health
outcomes varies within the LGB population
50. Limitations and Future Opportunities
No data on transgender Coloradans
No statewide data on LGBT youth
Insufficient sample size to conduct analysis of
rotating core and state added BRFSS questions by
sexual orientation
51. HIV OR AIDS
Colorado HIV Surveillance Report
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
4th Quarter, 2010
52. Background: HIV or AIDS
In Colorado, physicians, health care providers,
hospitals, or any other person providing testing
and/or counseling or treatment to a person with HIV
infection are required by law to report HIV and
AIDS related information to the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment, or
local health department.
Laboratories must report tests that indicate HIV
infection.
53. Overview: HIV or AIDS in Colorado
The first case of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS) was diagnosed in 1982.
Between 1982 and 2010, nearly 16,600 people have
been diagnosed with HIV disease in Colorado.
Between 2006 and 2010, new HIV diagnoses averaged
430 per year.
Between 2006 and 2010, HIV/AIDS deaths averaged
103 per year.
Since highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
became widely available in 1996, both AIDS diagnoses
and HIV/AIDS related deaths have declined significantly.
