BACKGROUND: Pride in All Who Served (PRIDE) is an intervention in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) focused on enhancing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) veterans' access to affirmative care services, social support, and engagement with VHA. Evaluation of PRIDE to date has focused on self-report data, missing critical opportunities to examine the impact of this program on health outcomes and utilization indicators detectable in the electronic health record (EHR). OBJECTIVE: This study is the first to: (a) comprehensively identify a sample of LGBTQ+ veterans who attended PRIDE, and (b) describe the sample demographics, health conditions, and health care utilization. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using EHR data and staff-reported PRIDE information (eg, site name, facilitator names, dates of delivery). PRIDE-related keywords and chart reviews were used to validate participation and determine the final sample. SUBJECTS: We identified 588 PRIDE participants at 34 VHA sites from 2016 to 2022. MEASURES: Demographics (eg, age), health conditions (eg, depression), and health care utilization (eg, mental/behavioral health care visits). RESULTS: Nearly half of the PRIDE participants (47%) were women, 75% were transgender and gender diverse, and 37% identified as lesbian or gay. A high proportion of the sample had stress-related health conditions, including depression (63%), hypertension (22%), and posttraumatic stress disorder (48%). CONCLUSIONS: PRIDE serves a disproportionate number of women and transgender and gender diverse veterans compared with general VHA users. In the absence of standardized EHR fields, time-intensive methods are required to leverage EHRs to evaluate programs addressing health equity for LGBTQ+ people.
