dc.description.abstractMembers of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, plus (LGBTQ+) community may face discrimination in healthcare, which can subsequently impact information and care‐seeking patterns. A tendency to avoid or delay health care is particularly concerning for LGBTQ+ people who face both physical and mental health disparities. This paper presents a literature review of literature on healthcare discrimination, LGBTQ+ care‐seeking, and associated information behaviors in order to generate a preliminary model of LGBTQ+ decision‐making around care and well‐being, called the Model of the Pathways to LGBTQ+ Well‐Being. This model can be used to investigate links between information behavior and relevant health behaviors and outcomes in a marginalized population.
