This brief presents recommendations created as part of the Research Development Project on the Human Service Needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Populations. The project identified the knowledge base and research needs related to LGBT people’s socioeconomic circumstances and risk factors, their current participation in human services funded by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and strategies for serving these populations effectively. Its methods included a literature review, analyses of secondary data sources, and consultations with experts and service providers.
