Abstract:

The aim was to examine the sociodemographic profile of sexual and gender minorities who engage in regular interaction with children, and to investigate whether such interactions are associated with healthcare factors. This cross-sectional study utilized data sourcethe 2020 LGBT+ Health Survey in Brazil, conducted online and anonymously in August-November, with a total of 958 participants. Regular interaction with children was defined as either cohabiting with children or engaging in bi-weekly face-to-face meetings with children residing in different households. Healthcare factors encompassed having a professional or reference service, the comfort in discussing personal issues, and the quality of medical or hospital care received. The statistical analysis used the Poisson regression with robust variance. The prevalence of regular interaction with children was 5.3%. After controlling for age, there was a statistically higher prevalence among cisgender women (13.4%) and among black/brown and other non-white races/colors (7.9%). The results showed a positive association between regular interaction with children and poorer quality of medical or hospital care received (PR = 6.00; 95%CI 1.22-29.67). These findings highlight the persistent presence of stigma and prejudice within healthcare services.
