Intervention to Collect and Utilize Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Information in Hospice (NCT05877391)
A Novel Intervention to Improve Care for Older Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Adults With Serious Illness and Especially Those With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Older sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients are at risk for receiving inequitable end-of-life care; those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at particularly high risk. Failure to collect and integrate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data to identify patients' informal support systems may have adverse health consequences for SGM older adults, particularly for those dependent on informal caregivers to provide in-home support and assist with activities of daily living. The goal of this K01 is develop a novel training for hospice staff in person-centered communication that includes SOGI data collection to promote authentic end-of-life care for SGM patients and their caregivers.
