Abstract

Abstract Contemporary research details the significant health, economic, and social disparities experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ) older adults in comparison to their peers. Fundamental to overcoming these disparities is service provider understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by LGBTQ older adults. This presentation will focus on the development and implementation of the research-based, interdisciplinary curriculum Training to Serve (TTS). TTS is designed to provide LGBTQ age-sensitivity training to service providers and since its inception over 15,000 providers have been trained. Evaluation data from participants will be presented. The framework for the development of the curriculum, based on interprofessional education, adult learning, and minority stress theories, will be shared. Implications for future training development and translation to electronic modules will be discussed.
