The LGBTQ+ JSNA examines the health needs of the LGBTQ+ population in Warwickshire. It looks at the demographics of the LGBTQ+ population, their health outcomes, and how the wider determinants of health impact on these outcomes.
The following approach was taken to create this JSNA:
- An internal local population dashboard was used to understand Census 2021 data on the size of the population from different sexual orientations and identifying as different genders in Warwickshire.
- Acknowledging a lack of local data on this population, a literature review of national evidence was undertaken which forms the bulk of the evidence presented in this JSNA.
- Stakeholders were engaged to reflect on how this evidence base applies to Warwickshire.
The LGBTQ+ JSNA makes three calls to actions rather than recommendations acknowledging that more local data is need to fully understand what health inequalities look like for this population in Warwickshire.
