Provides recommendations by foremost scholars regarding best
practices and future directions in LGBT aging. With its critical
examination of contemporary issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender (LGBT) elders, this landmark Annual Review
continues a nearly 40-year tradition of providing state-of-the-art
knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to
gerontologists worldwide. The 37th volume addresses the cardinal
changes occurring in the public policy arena—marriage rights,
social security benefits, and other movements toward equality—as
they pertain to LGBT elders, and focuses on a variety of key
challenges affecting this population. Bringing together the work of
highly respected researchers in health policy and psychosocial
spheres pertinent to older LGBT adults, the Review also sets forth
recommendations on best practices and discusses future directions
for working with this population. Each chapter covers a specific
issue affecting the older LGBT population and includes definitions
of key concepts; a summary of current research; and a discussion of
trends and future directions. The Review addresses such key topics
as sexuality and sexual health, health and mental health
disparities, caregiving, and service needs. It focuses on such
critical issues for LGBT elders as social services, families and
social supports, health and wellbeing for transgender and bisexual
older adults, stigma for bisexual older adults, and special issues
for older LGBT veterans and rural-dwelling elders. Also examined is
the intersection of diverse characteristics such as gender, race,
religion, disability, and sexual orientation. The book concludes
with a discussion of programs and policies for older LGBT adults
and offers concluding comments for professionals working with this
population. Key Features: Provides an historical view of events,
policy, and public opinion that have affected the lives of older
LGBT cohorts Distils state-of-the-art research and data on such
