Are there any investigations on prevalence of homophobia among medical doctors, nurses, and/or social workers?

17 July 2022 1 10K Report

I want to explore how prejudices against LGBTQ people might influence quality of care by health care providers. Thank you.

In a large urban teaching hospital treating many patients with AIDS, 37 medical house officers and 91 registered nurses completed a questionnaire designed to measure attitudes about homosexuality. Mean scores for both physicians and nurses fell in the low-grade homophobic range. No significant differences were found between scores for doctors and nurses, but women respondents were significantly more homophobic than men.
