000009107 520__ $$aSexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents frequently experience higher rates of negative health outcomes than their cisgender and heterosexual peers. School Health Centers (SHCs) have been identified as an equitable, efficacious and adolescent-friendly resource for health care diagnosis, referral, and treatment for many groups, but their specific impact on the health of SGM adolescents has not been well studied. Multnomah County is home to ten of Oregon?s SHCs, all of which serve SGM adolescents. A web-based survey was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, behaviors, and insights of 26 Multnomah County SHC employees, as they relate to the care of SGM adolescents. Findings suggest that employees with higher SGM-related knowledge have more SGM-supportive attitudes. Inadequate training was the most frequently perceived barrier to providing SGM-affirming care, and increasing staff training was the most frequent recommendation made. Study results suggest that efforts to increase staff knowledge of SGM topics should be pursued. In addition, existing SGM-affirming practices, such as the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity demographic data from patients, should be sustained.
