Abstrakt:	Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether an online, on-demand, and publicly accessible mental health training session on care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and all sexual-diverse and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) individuals could improve providers' preparedness, attitudes, and knowledge regarding care for LGBTQ+ patients. Methods: Between January and June 2022, participating mental health providers completed the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Development of Clinical Skills Scale (LGBT-DOCSS) before and after training. Results: Participants (N=322) represented various mental health specialties and all U.S. regions. LGBT-DOCSS scores significantly increased after training: for overall LGBT-DOCSS, Cohen's d=0.77 (p<0.001); for clinical preparedness, Cohen's d=0.68 (p<0.001); for attitudinal awareness, Cohen's d=0.14 (p=0.014); and for basic knowledge, Cohen's d=0.62 (p<0.001). Conclusions: Although participating mental health providers had improvements in the parameters assessed, small but notable gaps in their LGBTQ+ health awareness and practice remained, suggesting that LGBTQ+ education requires motivated, longitudinal, ongoing, and lifelong learning approaches. Competing Interests: Dr. Nowaskie is the founder and president of the nonprofit OutCare Health, which was compensated for the creation and delivery of the LGBTQ+ mental health training session used in this study. The other authors report no financial relationships with commercial interests.
