Paper abstract bibtex Obesity is a critical public health and social welfare issue affecting populations in the United States. One emerging area incorporates the interplay between obesity, sexual orientation and identity. Sexual minority women (i.e., females identified lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender women) are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, facing health disparities associated with outcomes such as high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and more. Objective/Methods: Using a feminist social justice lens, the purpose of this chapter using qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis (QIMS) was to examine and understand the experiences of sexual minority women who struggle with obesity and obesity related diseases. Thus, Ethnography, Grounded Theory, and Phenomenology were among the frameworks identified in the nine included studies. Study group: The total sample consisted of 141 participants who self-identified as sexual minority women ages 18-71 years. Results: Four themes on weight attitudes and physical activity behaviors among sexual minority women emerged: Expectations, Culture, Interventions, and Health. Conclusions: As social workers and public health practitioners implement prevention practices for this population of women, culturally grounded lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (i.e. LGBT specific) interventions are recommended. Furthermore, intervention and prevention efforts can be enhanced by practitioners who build cultural humility and gain knowledge and/or awareness of the health disparities experienced by sexual minority women as identified in these studies.
