Underrepresented Voices: LGBTQ+ Health and Research

Business Group on Health’s 2025 Employer Health Care Strategy survey reveals 89% of large employers intend to implement programs or strategies to support LGBTQ+ employees in their health and well-being initiatives. This focus is crucial, given the significant disparities faced by LGBTQ+ adults.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Mitchell Lunn, a Stanford University physician and professor as well as the director of The PRIDE Study, a research initiative that assesses the health of over 29,000 sexual and gender minority adults in the U.S., shares the disparities in health and health care facing the LGBTQ+ community. This episode covers the implications for employers and how inclusive employee surveys can foster a more supportive work environment.

Guest: Mitchell Lunn, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Nephrology) and of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine, Co-director of The PRIDE Study
