Examines inequalities experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and considers the role of social work in addressing them. The book is organised in three parts: the first provides a policy context in four countries, including Canada, Italy, India and Wales; the second examines social work practice in tackling health inequalities; and part three considers research and pedagogic developments. The book’s distinctive approach includes international contributions, practice vignettes and key theoretical perspectives in health inequalities, including social determinants of health, minority stress, ecological approaches and human rights. This resource is relevant to social work educators, practitioners and students, alongside an interdisciplinary audience interested in LGBT health inequalities. (Edited publisher abstract)
