  Abstract: Elena Togni, Giacomo Viggiani
  The paper outlines the state of research in the field of LGBTI people’s health needs and pro-fessionals’ assumptions in Italy. After a review of the previous studies, the article describes and discuss the main results of a recent survey conducted in the Brescia area on the attitudes of medical students towards LGBTI people and their knowledge of specific health needs, useful for improving health services. The results of the study show a mostly positive attitude of the participants towards LGBTI people and, on average, a fair knowledge of their health issues, as well as provides inspiration for future research.

  Abstract: Brian J. Frederick
  This article explores some of the mediated representations of queer male drug use - in particular, those concerning the chemsex and party n play (PNP) subcultures - to reveal the underly-ing emotionality as well as the cultural dynamics and meanings that contribute to the shaping of society’s understandings of these men and their behaviors. The article presents analyses of several general types of negatively-framed mediated representations of chemsex and PNP - representations that can, in effect, serve to define queer male drug users - definitions which are often provided by "experts" or moral entrepreneurs such as documentary directors, addiction practitioners and public/sexual health representatives, to name a few.

  Abstract: Chiara Bertone, Federica de Cordova
  Research in psychiatry and psychology indicates an increased risk for the health of LGBT+ people, identifying the main cause in prejudice and discrimination. "Minority stress" (MS) is the theory that describes the chronic condition of stigma, fear, and tension resulting from a heterosexist context. Spread far beyond psychiatric terminology, the term has taken on a mul-tiplicity of meanings and functions, from which elements of complexity and contradiction emerge. This article analyzes the risk of re-medicalization along with the emergence of other meanings and political potentials as they unfold in the public debate in the local contexts in which the concept of MS is used. The exploration is carried out through an analysis of documentary material and online interactions. In addition, from a microsociological perspective we developed an empirical study that includes focus groups and interviews with practitioners and activists.

  Abstract: Giuseppe Masullo, Angela Delli Paoli, Felice Addeo
  The paper explores the impact of discrimination, identity factors (coming out and consistency of sexual practices) and social factors (relationships and social capital) on lesbian women’s well-being, broadly understood as mental, emotional and social health. The research, carried out through an online survey addressed to 591 women who self-identify as lesbians, follows a quantitative approach with the implementation of a multiple regression model. Overall, find-ings demonstrate the presence of coping mechanisms and resilience strategies aimed at buffer-ing the impact of discrimination and centered around identity awareness, civic activism, and closure in narrow, homogeneous friendship networks based on shared sexual orientations.

  Abstract: Alessandro Lovari, Cosimo Marco Scarcelli
  The article unfolds at the intersection of health communication, gender studies and social media research, offering insights into the representation and practices of LGBT health on TikTok. Through a qualitative analysis of 159 videos, this exploratory study identifies actors, themes, and languages within this social media. Empirical evidence shows the strategic presence of health providers; the relevance of issues such as the doctor-patient relationship, often described as discriminatory due to lack of skills and specific training; the competent use of communication styles and interactive functions to improve the visibility of videos.The study opens to reflections on the role played by TikTok in promoting the empowerment of the LGBT community; the function of videos as stories and discourses on health and disease in social media environment; the process of incorporation of the platform logics by doctors to acquire reputational capital and attract market niches.

  Abstract: Mara Pieri
  The research "Chroniqueers" questions the multiple intersections between experiences of chronic illness and LGBTQ+ identification. It investigates the narratives of 24 young adults aged between 24 and 39 in Italy and Portugal. Chronic illness is seldom explored in its rela-tions with LGBTQ+ experiences; at the same time, sexual orientations and gender identities outside the cis-heteronormative norm are rarely present in studies on chronic illness. In the context of job insecurity, weakness of the legislative framework for LGBTQ + people and centrality of a family-oriented culture, the experiences of LGBTQ + people with chronic ill-ness constitute a litmus tests of multiple forms of social and economic vulnerability. The article analyzes some of those emerged in the Italian sample, with specific attention to significant in-terweaving aspects between visibility, care and precariousness.

  Abstract: Michela Balocchi, Ino Kehrer
  An increasing number of international human rights institutions are recommending to their Member States the adoption of all necessary measures to eliminate early non necessary inter-ventions on intersex children and to protect their fundamental rights. With this contribution the authors aim to investigate the status of intersex people in Italy by examining the Italian medical and legal system. This analysis shows the ongoing invisibilisation and pathologisation of in-tersex people as they are still submitted to early non-life saving surgical and pharmacological treatments aimed to direct the minor towards the feminine or the masculine, which have often several irreversible effects on a physical and psychological level.

  Abstract: Cirus Rinaldi, Marco Bacio
  In this article, we deal with the so-called "risky sexual behaviours" and the spread of HIV/AIDS among the community of MSM (men who have sex with other men). For a long time, both the sociological analysis and the medical and epidemiological approach studied the behaviour of the gay population as "inherently" more problematic in terms of spreading the human immunodeficiency virus. For these studies, even more dangerous are those men who sell sex and sexual services. Starting from a sample of twenty-one male sex workers in Italy and of the use or misuse of condoms during encounters with their male clients, this contribu-tion will try to understand how "risky sexual practices" (like barebacking or doing sex without a condom) are written and re-written. From the sexual script theory to the recent advancement in medicine in the fight against HIV/AIDS (like TasP and PrEP) that shape and re-shape how sex is performed, moving from the "gay plague" to the "Truvada whore" and from traditional sexual scripts to the neoliberal sexual actor.

  Abstract: Gabriella Punziano, Marianna Coppola, Alessio Avellino
  This exploratory research focuses on the construction and perception of the wellbeing of bina-ry transgender people (MtF and FtM) through a theoretical model that declines the capability approach theory in LGBTQ+ studies. The questions in the research aim to identify the primary dimensions that influence the con-struction and perception of transgender people’s wellbeing. From the concepts of identity con-struction to the quality of life concerning the capability approach model, the goal is to pinpoint possible differences between FtM and MtF. In line with the data in the literature, the results showed the importance of contextual and sys-temic factors in the construction and perception of transgender people’s wellness and the in-fluence that the normative parameters of sexuality (cis-heteronormative model) in society have in determining the criteria of social inclusion and exclusion.

  Abstract: Alice Scavarda
  The paper analyses the impact of disability on the social identities of siblings of young people and adults with intellectual disability. The main aim is to explore the positive and negative consequences of the everyday management of disability for siblings, so as to empirically bolster the concept of "disability by association". The latter refers to the attribution to siblings of an associative identity due to the presence of a disabled member within the family. During social interactions, the associative identity may result in positive as well as negative stigmatising ef-fects. Evidence is drawn from a qualitative study, made up of 32 in-depth interviews and two focus groups with siblings of young people and adults with intellectual disability. Results con-firmed the presence of consequences of the interactive effects that impinge on the lives and behaviour of interviewees. However, these consequences go far beyond the stigmatisation process, entailing a sort of identity merge, which limits siblings’ life and work opportunities. The care burden, especially when parents will be dead, appear to affect the social identities and the experiences of siblings, especially of sisters, more than the internalisation of devalued im-ages of intellectual disability.

  Abstract: Elisa Rossi
  Doctor-patient interaction within pediatric contexts doesn’t seem to have been enough ana-lysed at a national level yet. At the same time, medical dialogue in interactions with no linguis-ticcultural mediation has been examined mostly from a theoretical point of view. This article combines dialogue studies and a patient-centered approach with a theory of social systems, which observes the pediatric consultation as a system of interactions guided by a specific form of communication. Data analysis shows in which ways medical dialogue can be accomplished with migrant patients and parents, in not-mediated pediatric interactions and at the initial stage of the consultation. During problem presentation, pediatricians use open questions, closed questions to clarify, echoes, and formulations as recurring dialogic actions, with interesting effects especially for parent’s active participation and self-expression.
