Las personas lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transgénero (siglas LGBT) forman parte de una minoría que sufre muchos prejuicios y está bajo un estigma constante, por lo que se ven envueltos en diversos factores estresantes. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de la población lesbiana, gay, bisexual y transgénero (LGBT) en la carrera de medicina de una universidad de Sergipe; identificar posibles malestares con respecto a la orientación sexual en el estudiantado; detectar evidencias de depresión en los participantes según su orientación sexual; determinar la relación entre el malestar y la relación social académica. Método: Muestra de tipo conveniencia con 142 estudiantes que firmaron el Término de Consentimiento Libre e Informado y respondieron cuatro cuestionarios: uno demográfico, Inventario de Depresión de Beck, Escala de Clima del Campus LGBT y Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido.
