Social, Economic, and Health Disparities Among LGBT Older Adults
1Professor of Social Work at the University of Washington Tacoma and co-investigator on the Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, Sexuality and Gender Study.
Abstract:
LGBT older adults are a heterogeneous population with collective and unique strengths and challenges. Health, personal, and economic disparities exist in this group when compared to the general population of older adults, yet subgroups such as transgender and bisexual older adults and individuals living with HIV are at greater risk for disparities and poorer health outcomes. As this population grows, further research is needed on factors that contribute to promoting health equity, while decreasing discrimination and improving competent service delivery.
