Intervention to Collect and Utilize Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Information in Hospice
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
Older sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients are at risk for receiving inequitable end-of-life care; those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at particularly high risk. Failure to collect and integrate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data to identify patients' informal support systems may have adverse health consequences for SGM older adults, particularly for those dependent on informal caregivers to provide in-home support and assist with activities of daily living. The goal of this K01 is develop a novel training for hospice staff in person-centered communication that includes SOGI data collection to promote authentic end-of-life care for SGM patients and their caregivers.

SGM Communication Intervention
Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the SGM communication intervention by hospice staff. I will pilot test the training with hospice staff to refine the content and delivery of the training. Outcomes in the pilot clinical trial will include feasibility, acceptability, and staff satisfaction with training.
