About The Study: Despite similar access to health insurance, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) people had large inequities in unmet health care needs and cost-related medication nonadherence in the postpartum year. Results suggested LGBTQ+ people receive lower-quality care in the postpartum period. Although use of pregnancy-related care was comparable, LGBTQ+ individuals used more primary and specialist care and were nearly twice as likely to use the emergency department compared with non-LGBTQ+ people.
