Lay Summary: LGBTQ2S+ youth experience a host of health inequities, stemming, in part, from fear of disclosure, negative past experiences with healthcare providers, or lack of appropriate questioning from health practitioners related to gender and sexuality. This study aims to describe the lived experiences of LGBTQ2S+ youth interaction with the health care system in Ottawa.
