Disparities in the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease (ABCD) disproportionately affect Indigenous American and LGBTQIA+ populations. These groups face significant barriers, including underdiagnosis, inequitable access to treatments like bariatric surgery, and suboptimal post-operative outcomes. For instance, Indigenous American patients are 30-40% less likely to receive bariatric surgery compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts, and LGBTQIA+ individuals are more likely to be diagnosed with obesity yet are less likely to receive necessary interventions. Addressing these inequities is essential to improving health outcomes for these underserved populations. In the fourth and final activity of this CME Outfitters BriefCase series, expert faculty will discuss actionable strategies to enhance health equity in the treatment of ABCD. The focus will be on identifying and mitigating the impact of social drivers of health (SDoH), integrating holistic and culturally congruent care strategies, and employing team-based approaches to ensure equitable treatment outcomes. Learners will gain tools to improve diagnosis, intervention, and long-term care for patients with ABCD, particularly those from high-risk, underserved populations.
