A systematic review of the treatment of active anogenital warts with human papillomavirus vaccines.

Background: Anogenital warts (AGWs) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) are a common manifestation of HPV infection. Treatment strategies generally include topical therapies to promote wart regression or removal through surgical or other means. These strategies are effective but are associated with high rates of recurrence.

The burden of an identity: Coping strategies for sexual and gender minority individuals in pharmacy practice.

Purpose: Sexual or gender minority (SGM) individuals are known to experience stigma and discrimination in pharmacy settings. It is also known that SGM individuals may delay or avoid care in pharmacies due to the stress associated with these experiences. Aside from avoidance, however, little is known about how SGM individuals cope with stigma and discrimination and how their coping strategies may influence their healthcare behaviors.

Raising voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ patients: The intersection of minority stress and systemic oppression in pharmacy practice.

Background: Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and other sex, sexual, and gender identities (2SLGBTQIA+) experience minority stress processes in pharmacy settings. Processes may be distal (objective prejudicial events) or proximal (subjective internalized feelings) and lead to delay or avoidance of care. The nature of these experiences in pharmacies and ways to reduce occurrence is largely unknown.

A scoping review of the minority stress processes experienced by sexual and gender minority individuals in pharmacy settings: Implications for health care avoidance.

Background: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people may avoid or delay health care interactions. The minority stress model describes distal (discrimination, violence) and proximal (expectation of rejection, concealment, internalized self-dislike) stress processes as possible contributors to the health disparities and avoidance behaviors observed when encountered in health care settings. Pharmacies are accessible health care settings, yet the extent to which SGM individuals experience minority stress processes while using services at the pharmacies is unknown.
