Background: The well-being of LGBTQ + medical students can be influenced by religiosity, family support, and the disclosure of their gender identity or sexual orientation. These factors have frequently been overlooked and warrant further consideration in creating a supportive environment for all students.
Methods: This multicenter study investigated two main outcomes including the differences in religiosity and perceived family support between LGBTQ + and non-LGBTQ + medical students in Thailand, and the gender disclosure to family among LGBTQ + medical students.
Background: Medical students with sexual and gender diversity (SGD) often face challenges in educational performance and encounter more education-related problems, potentially due to discrimination in medical schools. This study aimed to compare academic difficulties, education-related issues, and experiences of discrimination among medical students with SGD versus those identifying as non-SGD.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study.
This study evaluated the prevalence and associated factors of depression and generalized anxiety among LGBTQ+ in five medical schools in Thailand. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were used to assess major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), respectively, and multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify associated factors. Of 1,322 students, 412 (31.

Method: Medical students from 4 medical schools in Thailand were recruited in 2022. LGBTQ+ participants were selected via purposive sampling and invited for semistructured interviews.
Objective: This study aims to investigate sexual behaviors among gender diverse (LGBT and other sexual/gender minorities) and nongender-diverse medical students.
Methods: In 2021 academic year, medical students from five Thai medical schools completed questionnaires identifying demographic data, psychosexual factors, sexual experiences, and risks.
Results: Among 1,322 students, 32.
Background: The global population of individuals with gender diversity or LGBTQ+ people is on the rise. However, negative attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals persist, even among healthcare professionals, creating barriers to healthcare access. These attitudes are influenced by cultural variations worldwide and necessitate investigation across diverse cultures and settings.

- - The study investigates the prevalence of major depressive disorder in transgender women (TW) who have undergone gender-affirming genital surgery (GAS) and identifies risk factors contributing to depressive symptoms.
- - Out of 97 TW analyzed, 22.7% exhibited major depression post-GAS, with improvements noted in psychosocial satisfaction and sexual experiences after surgery, though a negative correlation was found between depression severity and age/sexual satisfaction.
- - Factors such as pre-surgery male characteristics, inadequate social support, and postoperative complications were significant contributors to depressive symptoms, suggesting that while depression rates were lower post-GAS in Thailand, they remained substantial, particularly in younger individuals.

This study investigated the relationships between CYP2D6 genotype and activity scores as well as predicted phenotype of plasma donepezil concentrations in 86 Thai dementia participants.
Materials And Methods: CYP2D6 was genotyped using bead-chip technology (Luminex xTAG v.
