Title

Rainbow Health Initiative, Impacts and Opportunities: Results from A Discussion of Rainbow Health Initiative's Health Equity Work

Description
In 2013, the Rainbow Health Initiative (�RHI�) received funding from the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota through the Health Equity in Prevention (HEiP) initiative. Through their work, they are focusing on improving LGBTQ health by influencing policy and legislation, leveraging coalitions and networks to expand awareness, providing training and presentations to health professionals, and conducting a survey on health attitudes and individual health for LGBTQ people in Minnesota.
In December 2014, a group of 18 project stakeholders were invited to a Ripple Effect Mapping discussion about RHI�s health equity work. The discussion was intended to not only provide the participants a chance to consider how successful the project has been in achieving its intended goals, but also to identify the indirect or unexpected project impacts. This document summarizes the key themes of the discussion.
