Sexual and gender minority health-related content in geriatric fellowships.

Introduction: Despite a growing number of older lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adults in the United States, education on care for this vulnerable population has historically been inadequate across all levels of training. This research assessed the extent of LGBTQ education in geriatric medicine fellowship curricula across the United States.

Methods: We designed a survey to anonymously collect information from geriatric medicine fellowship programs on LGBTQ curricular content.

Culturally Competent Clinical Care for Older Sexual Minority Adults: A Scoping Review of the Literature.

Study Objective: As recent efforts to improve culturally competent clinical care (CCCC) have largely overlooked older LGB adults, we conducted a scoping review of position statements, empirical, and non-empirical research and suggest action steps.

Methods: We followed PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews Guidelines and searched for articles 1/1/11-3/14/19 (n = 1210) and other resources (n = 52), deduplicating, dually screening abstracts (n = 1,156), reviewing full-text (n = 107), and conducted a content analysis to identify distinct and cross-cutting domains (n = 44).

Main Findings: Most research was based on simple pre/post-training differences in provider knowledge.

The Effect of a Comprehensive Dementia Care Management Program on End-of-Life Care.

Background/objectives: Although Alzheimer disease and other dementias are life limiting, only a minority of these patients or their proxy decision makers participate in advance care planning. We describe end-of-life care preferences and acute care and hospice use in the last 6 months of life for persons enrolled in a comprehensive dementia care management program.

Design: Observational, retrospective cohort.
