The Bay Area LGBTTQQI -Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirited, Queer, Questioning, and Intersex- Youth Health Scan (BALYHS) Project consists of a health care scan of the health care services provided to LGBTTQQI youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. The BALYHS report also includes an assessment of the health care needs of LGBTTQQI youth; this final research report provides practical and low-cost findings and recommendations based on this Youth-Led Action Research project. In the BALYHS report the LGBT youth voice their specific [LGBTQI Health] needs, experiences and ideas to make their health care more accessible. The recommendations are applicable to any clinic in the U.S. as this research points out that there is an enormous lack of and yet high need for Transgender and Queer specific health care services beyond San Francisco.
