LGBT Persons Ages 60 and Older Sought for Research Study

August 18, 2014 by wesn Leave a Comment

Rainbow triangleThe Simon Fraser University Gerontology Research Centre  is conducting a study to examine the ways in which LGBT older adults are looking ahead and preparing for later life and end-of-life.

The ‘Fostering End-of-Life Conversations, Community and Care among LGBT Older Adults’ Project is seeking participants who:

  • Self-identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or Transgender
  • Are at least 60 years of age
  • Are fluent in English
  • Have some e-mail experience
  • Of special interest are people coping with and/or caring for persons with two or more chronic conditions (e.g. impaired hearing or vision, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cancer, dementia, HIV/AIDS)

To volunteer e-mail [email protected] or leave your phone number at 778-782-9894.

  • The study involves sharing your experiences and opinions in a 2-hour focus group in August.  A $25.00 gift card will be offered as a thank you for your participation.
