Background: While the significance of care navigation in facilitating access to health care within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ+) communities has been acknowledged, there is limited research examining how care navigation influences an individual's ability to understand and access the care they need in real-world settings. By analyzing private sector data, we can bridge the gap between theoretical research findings and practical applications, ultimately informing both business strategies and public policy with evidence grounded in real-world efficacy.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of specialized virtual care navigation services on LGBTQ+ individuals' ability to comprehend and access necessary care within a national cohort of commercially insured members.

Background: People living with dementia and their carers, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, consistently demonstrate limited knowledge about and negative attitudes towards dementia. This can limit access to preventive and post-diagnostic care. Culturally sensitive dementia education is an inclusive and practical intervention that can be used in multicultural contexts to increase awareness and destigmatise the condition.

Background: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults experience disparities in subjective cognitive impairment when compared to heterosexuals of similar age. Yet, SGM older adults and their care partners living with dementia/memory loss face substantial barriers to accessing culturally relevant health and dementia care. To address the gap in culturally relevant interventions, we tested the efficacy of a first of its kind stigma reduction, cognitive behavioral intervention for SGM older adults living with dementia/memory loss and their care partners, Aging with Pride: Innovations in Empowerment and Action (IDEA).
