Summary of the final report
International studies indicate that lesbian, gay and bisexual people (LGB) have a poorer state of health than the general population and have more difficulty accessing healthcare. However, the data and scientific evidence on the situation in Switzerland in this regard are still lacking. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) commissioned Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – School of Social Work to prepare a sound basis for the drafting of the postulate report that not only focuses on the state of health of LGB people and their access to the healthcare system, but that also records and analyses the situation of trans and non-binary people (T) in Switzerland in this context.
The objective of this report is to identify areas where LGBT people face health inequalities compared with the general population in Switzerland.
