The present work experimentally examines how identity cues that signal minority inclusion contribute to sexual minorities' (SM) healthcare visit expectations. We find that minority representation cues reduced SM's (N = 188) expectations of a healthcare provider's bias and increased perceived provider cultural competency which was, in turn, associated with lower anticipated identity-based devaluation and greater sexual orientation disclosure comfort. Providers' diversity-valuing statements had mixed effects highlighting the importance of more concrete indicators of inclusion in this context. This work suggests that a lack of identity safety cues in healthcare settings may contribute to disparate health outcomes for sexual minority populations.
