p < .001. Independent t tests were performed to test the difference in study measures by demographic factors with one exception (age; used analysis of variance or ANOVA test due to more than two relevant categories).

Demographic factors: profession (1 = APP, 2 = physicians); age (1 = less than 34 years, 2 = 35–44 years, 3 = 45–54 years, 4 = 55 years, and older); religion (1 = Christian, 2 = other); sex at birth (1 = female, 2 = male); gender identity (1 = female, 2 = male); sexual orientation (1 = heterosexual, 2 = LGBT); LGBT friends/family (0 = no, 1 = yes).

Study measures: Belief 1 (beliefs about sexual orientation and gender identity); Belief 2 (beliefs about LGBT health care).
