Inferências entre a resistência dos corpos docente e/ou discente frente à temática LGBTQIAPN+ com o desenvolvimento de atividades curriculares e com as características das instituições de ensino de cursos de odontologia brasileiros: um estudo transversal

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate, in a sample of 156 academic coordinators, the possible associations between faculty and/or student resistance to LGBTQIAPN+ topics and the development of curricular activities aimed at oral health care for this population, as well as certain institutional characteristics. Among the main findings, two stood out: in academic settings resistant to LGBTQIAPN+ themes, dentistry programs were predominantly those that did not develop curricular activities focused on oral health care for this group; private dentistry programs were the most prevalent among those both with and without resistance to the LGBTQIAPN+ theme. It is concluded that the information gathered in this study may support future public policies in dental care, including in education, aimed at reducing oral health inequities experienced by this vulnerable population.
