Understanding Care Disparities Among Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Adults: Recommendations for Culturally Competent Care

Jennifer Hillman*

LGBT adults represent a growing, aging population. LGBT elders face significant health care disparities, and are often fearful of disclosing their sexual orientation or gender identity to practitioners. As a result, many older LGBT adults fail to receive appropriate screening or treatment. Various recommendations can be offered to help health providers offer more culturally competent, LGBT and age-affirming care.
