“…However, age cohorts did not differ significantly on marriage equality legalization. The future for social work researchers and practitioners working with older LGBT adults is looking brighter thanks to increased resources germane to this population, including the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging (see Meyer & Johnston, 2014). We hope that, despite its limitations, this study adds to this brighter future by providing a snapshot of the marriage equality attitudes among younger and older LGBT adults.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare attitudes of older versus younger lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals regarding marriage equality. Data were collected via self-report questionnaires from 350 LGBT adults in a mid-size city in the southern United States. Older and younger LGBT cohorts did not differ significantly in voter registration, political party affiliation, awareness of LGBT political issues, or voting on social issues. Older LGBT adults were less likely to find same-sex marriage important. Yet, age cohorts did not differ significantly on legalizing same-sex marriage. Social work implications are discussed regarding this policy area.

“…All but two intervention studies with empirical data focused on staff training to measure the immediate change in CCCC among providers, often defined as an increase in related knowledge (Gendron et al, 2013; Hardacker et al, 2014; Leyva et al, 2014; Meyer & Johnston, 2014; Porter & Krinsky, 2014; Rogers et al, 2013). The one-time trainings generally lasted 2–6 hours (Gendron et al, 2013; Hardacker et al, 2014; Meyer & Johnston, 2014), though some were longer (Kwong et al, 2017; Leyva et al, 2014). One study focused on the identifying signals that can indicate that a provider is LBGT-welcoming (Croghan et al, 2015).…”

Culturally Competent Clinical Care for Older Sexual Minority Adults: A Scoping Review of the Literature

et al. 2021

Study Objective: As recent efforts to improve culturally competent clinical care (CCCC) have largely overlooked older LGB adults, we conducted a scoping review of position statements, empirical, and non-empirical research and suggest action steps. Methods: We followed PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews Guidelines and searched for articles 1/1/11-3/14/19 (n = 1210) and other resources (n = 52), deduplicating, dually screening abstracts (n = 1,156), reviewing full-text (n = 107), and conducted a content analysis to identify distinct and cross-cutting domains (n = 44). Main Findings: Most research was based on simple pre/post-training differences in provider knowledge. A majority of sources were non-empirical. We identified three distinct domains (education & staffing, physical environment, and inclusive language & communication) and three cross-cutting domains (subgroup differences, research, and policy). Principal Conclusions: Sparse empirical data that specify best approaches to improve CCCC exist; nevertheless, providers, in collaboration with researchers and policy makers, can initiate improved practices aimed at increasing CCCC for older LGB patients.

“…Evidence suggests that these interventions are successful. Data from trainings conducted by SAGE demonstrate positive shifts in participant knowledge and attitudes toward LGBT people (Meyer and Johnston, 2014). Likewise the trainings from the LGBT Aging Project in Boston demonstrate the value of cultural competency trainings (Porter and Krinsky, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline current efforts in the USA to build and create safe and affirming housing for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults. Design/methodology/approach The authors approach this task through a survey of existing publicly available information about LGBT-specific housing projects, as well as literature on methods to make existing housing welcoming to LGBT elders. Findings The authors find that there are a number of LGBT-specific housing options currently available, and many more in the development phase. Additionally, given the large number of LGBT older adults in the USA and the relatively small number of LGBT-specific housing units, the authors also discuss other interventions that can be applied to create safe housing. The practical implication of this research is to provide advocates for LGBT people with a sense of what is happening in the USA, as well as some guidance on how to replicate LGBT affirming housing models in other contexts. Originality/value To the authors’ knowledge, this is the only and most comprehensive survey of LGBT-specific elder housing in the USA to be published in the academic literature.
