RISKS & BENEFITS. The processes of data collection and management did not warrant any adverse events as a consequence of the study. Overall, the project benefits apply to the broader medical and LGBT communities, and not necessarily aimed at each individual. Therefore, the risks among the participants are so low that they are outweighed by the benefits. Given that this project works with three different populations, we do acknowledge that although the total risk is generally low. LGBT individuals were asked to discuss their experiences seeking healthcare in Lebanon. Unpacking these personal stories regarding both positive and negative encounters have the potential to trigger feelings of anxiety associated with their past traumas. The individual participants of this study do not immediately benefit from participating. Continued publishing and analysis of the data collected will help to inform gradual shifts in stigma, medical education and training, and LGBT-related policies. Such benefits are long-term and scaled to benefit the broader communities of those involved. Ultimately, the results and deliverable of this project will continue to contribute to changes in social attitude, reduction in poor health outcomes of LGBT individuals, and reforms in medical education in Lebanon to mandate training in LGBT health topics.
