The purpose of this study

was to learn about the experiences of pre-licensure, undergraduate nursing faculty: how we make decisions about what kinds of materials and topics to include in our teaching, what factors may contribute to those decisions, and our experiences of including (or excluding) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) health content in our courses.
