Thank you, AJG - The American Journal of Gastroenterology for the opportunity to work with Kira Newman, MD, PhD and Alex Goldowsky to comment on how LGBTQIA+ individuals should be included in research. Some troubling work has been published recently: we hope this primer helps. ACG Rainbows in Gastro
