A call to action to improve the completeness of older adult sexual and gender minority data in electronic health records.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults experience greater health disparities compared to non-SGM older adults. The SGM older adult population is growing rapidly. To address this disparity and gain a better understanding of their unique challenges in healthcare relies on accurate data collection.

Health Experiences of Sexual and Gender Minority People Living With Dementia and Their Care Partners: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: People living with dementia and their care partners who identify as a sexual and gender minority (SGM) often experience specific health inequities and disparities due to discrimination related to age, cognitive impairment, and being SGM.

Objective: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify, explore, and synthesize the state of the science regarding the health and health care experiences of SGM people living with dementia and their care partners. This review also aims to identify gaps in research and set forth key recommendations to improve the health and health care experiences of SGM people living with dementia and their care partners by advancing health equity through research, policy, and practice.
