APA WIll Launch a New Learning Center This Summer
APA is launching a new online Learning Center this summer with enhanced features and key improvements. Learning Center users are encouraged to complete any in-progress courses on the current platform by July 20, 2020. The current Learning Center will be down for maintenance at 5:00 p.m. ET on July 28, 2020. We anticipate the new Learning Center will then be accessible July 31, 2020. Two free courses will be released for members in August. For information and updates about the transition, click here.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) populations face numerous health disparities including disproportionately high rates of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use disorders. These disparities are due in-part to anti-LGBTQ stigma, prejudice, and discrimination. This course provides an overview of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use disparities in LGBTQ populations, including strategies for providing LGBTQ-affirming care.
