The purpose of this study was to explore how providers with LGBT\u2010focused practices have developed their capacity for working with these populations.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    Eight semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted with practising mental health service providers with extensive experience serving LGBT individuals. Participants represented four professional disciplines: psychiatry (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20032); social work (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20033); psychotherapy (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20032), and psychology (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20031). The data were analysed for themes that were identified using a descriptive phenomenological approach.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    All providers self\u2010identified as members of LGBT communities; however, most agreed that this membership was not necessary to provide supportive, appropriate care for LGBT individuals. Providers described their self\u2010identity as members of LGBT communities, associated lived experiences and recognition of the need for mental health services that are sensitive to the unique needs of LGBT individuals as influential factors in their career decisions. The lack of training opportunities and resources specific to the provision of LGBT\u2010sensitive mental health services was highlighted. Provider recommendations included the introduction of mandatory LGBT health content in education curricula that addresses basic LGBT\u2010related terminology, appropriate interview questions to facilitate the disclosure of sexual orientation and gender identity, information regarding the health impact of heterosexism and homophobia, and specific health care needs of sexual and gender identity minority people.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    Data from this study suggest there are few opportunities for medical providers to access training and gain expertise in the provision of care to LGBT people. Additional research is needed to consider whether the lack of LGBT health content in medical and psychiatric training programme curricula indirectly contributes to the health disparities experienced by these populations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2923.2012.04272.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,15]],"date-time":"2012-08-15T06:44:43Z","timestamp":1345013083000},"page":"903-913","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":112,"title":["Development of expertise in mental health service provision for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Kimberly","family":"Rutherford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"McIntyre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Daley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lori E","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.91.6.990"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2006.087254"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/154099903321154130"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-244X-8-70"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.91.6.915"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15574090802226626"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/suli.2007.37.5.527"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Ontario\u2019s trans communities and suicide: transphobia is bad for our health","volume":"1","author":"Scanlon K","year":"2010","journal-title":"Trans PULSE E-Bull"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","volume-title":"Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey","author":"Grant JM","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-0-387-31334-4_10"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-244X-9-52"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1614.2000.00710.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.91.11.1869"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_15_2","first-page":"53","article-title":"Health care use among gay, lesbian and bisexual Canadians","volume":"19","author":"Tjepkema M","year":"2008","journal-title":"Health Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.275.17.1354"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1014210027301"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_2","first-page":"9","volume-title":"Review of Psychiatry","author":"Stein TS","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890423349"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_2","unstructured":"American Medical Association.Statement of the American Medical Association to the Institute of Medicine.
