摘要

性和性别少数群体（SGM）的寿命越来越长，但在获得医疗服务方面面临越来越多的障碍。为了理解这种差异，我们对LGBTQ老年人的需求进行了多阶段的需求评估。672人参与了这项调查，其中包括六个开放式问题。通过专题分析，我们的研究结果指出了在获得医疗保健方面的关键挑战，包括找到肯定和负担得起的提供者，获得社会支持，住房的可用性以及获得法律服务。应对这些挑战需要老年学家参与活动，消除护理障碍，并提出创新解决方案，以缩小健康差距。

"I Should Not Have to Teach My Providers": Identifying Challenges Associated with LGBTQ Aging.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals are living longer but facing increased barriers to access to care. To understand this discrepancy, we conducted a multi-phase needs assessment on the needs of LGBTQ older adults. Six hundred seventy-two individuals participated in the survey, which included six open-ended questions. Using thematic analysis, our findings point to critical challenges in healthcare access, including locating affirming and affordable providers, accessing social support, the availability of housing, and accessing legal services. Addressing these challenges requires gerontologists to engage in activities to remove barriers to care and generate innovative solutions to reduce health disparities.
