摘要：
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) people struggle for health and well-being in many contexts. In this article we describe the experiences of discrimination and perceived priorities for well-being in a sample of LGBT people in Puerto Rico. A community based-participatory research approach provided to collect data from 233 LGBT individuals attending a pride event. Nearly half of the sample reported not self-disclosing sexual orientation to healthcare providers and school was found to be the most common setting for experiencing discrimination. The main perceived priority for well-being was marriage equality. Addressing social determinants of health such as discrimination at work and lack of inclusion in healthcare services may lead the way towards health equity for LGBT people in Puerto Rico.
