Research on the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
populations can provide important information to address existing health
inequalities. Finding existing research in LGBT health can prove challenging due
to the plethora of terminology used. We sought to describe existing search
strategies and to identify more comprehensive LGBT search terminology. We
iteratively created a search string to identify systematic reviews and
meta-analyses about LGBT health and implemented it in Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, and
PsycINFO databases on May 28-29, 2015. We hand-searched the journal LGBT Health.
Inclusion criteria were: systematic reviews and meta-analyses that addressed LGBT
health, used systematic searching, and used independent coders for inclusion. The
published search terminology in each record and search strings provided by
authors on request were cross-referenced with our original search to identify
additional terminology. Our search process identified 19 systematic reviews
meeting inclusion criteria. The number of search terms used to identify
LGBT-related records ranged from 1 to 31. From the included studies, we
identified 46 new search terms related to LGBT health. We removed five search
terms as inappropriate and added five search terms used in the field. The
resulting search string included 82 terms. There is room to improve the quality
of searching and reporting in LGBT health systematic reviews. Future work should
attempt to enhance the positive predictive value of LGBT health searches. Our
findings can assist LGBT health reviewers in capturing the diversity of LGBT
terminology when searching.
