Despite growing racial and ethnic diversity among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) older adults in the United States, LGBTQ older adults of color largely are invisible in aging services, research, and public policy. GRIOT Circle and Caring and Aging with Pride are pioneering efforts in community-based services and research. This article describes innovative and effective ways to reach and serve LGBTQ older adults of color, how research can be designed collaboratively to address strengths and disparities in social, health, and economic well-being, and barriers to accessing aging services in these populations.
尽管美国女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别及酷儿(LGBTQ)老年人群体中的种族和族裔多样性不断增加,但有色人种LGBTQ老年人在养老服务、研究和公共政策中基本不被关注。GRIOT Circle和“骄傲关怀与养老”组织在基于社区的服务和研究方面做出了开创性努力。本文介绍了接触和服务有色人种LGBTQ老年人的创新有效方法,如何通过合作设计研究来解决社会、健康和经济福祉方面的优势与差距,以及这些人群在获得养老服务方面的障碍。
