Improving Hospice Care for Sexual and Gender Minority Individuals

This study is developing and testing a new training program called the SGM Communication Intervention for hospice staff. The goal is to help staff better understand and support older sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients, especially those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). By improving how staff collect and use information about a patient's sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), the study hopes to ensure more personalized and supportive end-of-life care. The study aims to enroll 80 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status. Success will be measured by understanding the challenges and preferences for discussing SOGI with SGM older adults, and by refining the training content and delivery.
