| Annotation | This study explored issues of culturally sensitive healthcare practice and needs among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) ageing adults in coastal North Carolina. Survey data results indicated the largest problem was a history of verbal harassment and the need for culturally sensitive healthcare. In conclusion culturally sensitive interventions are needed to address the health disparities and unique needs of LGBT ageing adults. Cultural sensitivity training for service providers is suggested as a vital step in addressing health disparities of ageing LGBT adults. Implications for research include further exploration of the health related needs of these often hidden and underserved population groups. (JL). |
