The research project "Primary Care for LGBT* Individuals from the Perspective of LGBT* Individuals and from the Perspective of Primary Care Physicians" is seeking participants.
For more information, please refer to the research project.
International studies have shown that though lesbians, gay men, bisexual people, trans people, intersex people and queer (LGBTQIA+) patients have special needs when it comes to general medical care, they run the risk of encountering discrimination when seeking treatment from general practitioners. Because there is currently so little scholarly research on this topic in Germany, we aim to fill that gap with quantitative and qualitative research

From August 13th to 31st, 2022, we conducted an online survey on monkeypox (Mpox). The aim of our study was to assess both the interest and willingness to vaccinate, as well as risk factors and personal experiences with vaccination and treatment. In November 2022, we were able to publish initial results on risk factors for monkeypox infection in the German Medical Journal. Further publications are planned for 2023.
The situation of people in Germany during the Corona pandemic
The current Corona (Covid-19) pandemic is leading to significant restrictions in everyday life, which can be burdensome for many people. The aim of this study is to assess the current situation and well-being of people in Germany during the Corona pandemic. This will enable better support in coping with the social restrictions. A focus of the study is to examine whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and asexual (LGBTIA+) individuals experience specific challenges in the current situation. However, the study explicitly targets all individuals living in Germany.
Preliminary results in the form of a policy briefing were published on 04.03.2021.
