"Medical School Learning Environment and Quality of Life among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Second-year Medical Students of Color"^^ . "Background: Literature rarely explores learning environment and well-being outcomes specific to LGB medical students, medical students of color, and LGB medical students of color. \r\n\r\nMethods: We conducted a secondary analysis of demographic, student-faculty interaction, student-student interaction, learning environment emotional climate, and quality of life by sexual orientation and racial identity using data from the Association of American Medical Colleges’ Year 2 Questionnaire. We ran Multivariate Analysis of Variance models for learning environment outcomes and Univariate Analysis of Variance models for quality of life. We ran all models at 95% confidence and included sex, age, school region, and in-person attendance as covariates. We investigated association between perceptions of learning environment and quality of life using Multivariable Linear Regression. \r\n\r\nResults: Eight percent (n=2767) of 34,679 second-year medical students were LGB, 41.3% (n=1144) of whom were students of color. LGB students had lower perceptions of student-faculty (CI: -0.49, -0.23; p<0.001) and student-student (CI: -0.49, -0.23; p=0.002) interactions than their heterosexual peers. These effects were exacerbated among Asian, Black, and Underrepresented Multiracial LGB students having poorer student-faculty interactions (all p<0.01) compared with white LGB peers, and Asian, Black, Indigenous, and Underrepresented Multiracial LGB students having poorer student-student interactions compared with white LGB peers (all p<0.05). LGB medical students had worse perceptions of learning environment emotional climate (CI: -0.72, -0.48; p<0.001) and reported lower well-being (CI: -2.52, -1.74; p<0.001) compared to heterosexual students. There were no significant differences in emotional climate and well-being by racial groups among LGB people. \r\nPerceptions of learning environment were significantly associated with quality of life score, with few moderations by sexual orientation and racial identities. \r\nConclusions: Further research is required to understand the etiology of poorer outcomes among students with minoritized social identities, with a focus on the intersections of racism and heterosexism. Further research should act to ameliorate these inequities. \r\n\r\nSignificance: The public health significance of this thesis is to add to quality of life literature by: (a) including data from a national dataset; (b) investigating presence of well-being, not just absence of mental illness; (c) identifying structural learning environment outcomes that could impact quality of life; and (d) situating results specifically among LGB people of color. We hope our long-term public health impact will be to provide a path towards improving the health and well-being of LGB medical students of color."^^ . "2020-06-19" . . .
