Integrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Older Adults into Aging Policy and Practice
![]() June 2011 | National Academy on an Aging Society; SAGE
![]()
![]() ![]() "Fostering inclusion and eliminating disparities are ascendant concepts in contemporary health and social policy, and we hope these articles addressing policy concerns of the LGBT community further such efforts."
![]() The National Academy on an Aging Society teamed up with SAGE to publish this edition of the Public Policy and Aging Report. There are a number of articles, with topics including the absence of research devoted to LGBT populations; the higher economic, health, and social risk profile of these individuals; the absence of public policies directed to their specific concerns; the failure of existing broad-based aging policies to incorporate LGBT needs and interests; the lack of cultural competency training among services personnel; the failure of public agencies to address bias-based victimization suffered by LGBT communities; the stealth realization that half of Americans living with HIV will be over the age of 50 by 2015; and the void in the gerontological literature speaking to diversity within the LGBT population. ![]() |
