Project Abstract The size of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) population is estimated to be between 9 and 11 million (3.5–4.5%). The LGBT population has been identified as having poorer health than their non-LGBT peers on many dimensions. Although we know less about older LGBT adults, they are of special interest since chronic disease and disabilities increase with age and disparities often emerge or widen, making older LGBT adults an at-risk population. The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) has issued two reports on the state of LGBT health, both of which call for more targeted research aimed at understanding the sources and consequences of these health disparities, particularly among older LGBT adults. A representative national study of older LGBT adults would permit the type of work recommended by the NAM committee. The purpose of the current Sampling Strategies and Measure Development for the LGBT Aging Project (SAMLAP) is to develop and evaluate a platform and a process that will permit the execution of a future, separately-funded national probability-based longitudinal study of aging in the older LGBT population (the National LGBT Aging Project (NLAP)). Our specific aims are: (1) to develop and implement a strategy to identify and recruit a probability sample of LGBT older adults; (2) to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of the screening strategy and the quality of the resulting sample, using the results of the randomized experiments as appropriate; (3) to identify and develop survey measures of social relationships and experiences appropriate for use in the future National LGBT Aging Project (NLAP) and administer these via 300 follow-up interviews in households identified as containing at least one LGBT older adult; and, (4) conduct a controlled randomized field test of in-home versus remote interviewing for the follow-up interviews, using a sequential adaptive design that will permit a robust comparison of response rates, differential nonresponse bias, and costs. The product of this work will be a sampling methodology, screening process, set of measures, and field approach—optimized where appropriate through randomized experiments—tailored to conduct the first ever U.S. national study of LGBT older adults using an address-based probability sample with a high response rate (NLAP), to be submitted separately based on the results of this application. NLAP will permit inference to the population of LGBT individuals as well as the population of partnerships involving at least one LGBT individual; it will answer critical health and policy questions concerning LGBT individuals, as well as enhance our methods for studying and understanding issues involving the health and aging of all Americans.

项目摘要 女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人（LGBT）人口的规模估计在9至11人之间 100万（3.5%-4.5%）。LGBT人群的健康状况比非LGBT人群差。 peers同行on many许多dimensions尺寸.虽然我们对年长的LGBT成年人知之甚少，但他们特别感兴趣，因为 慢性疾病和残疾随着年龄的增长而增加，差距往往会出现或扩大，使老年LGBT 成年人是高危人群。国家医学科学院（NAM）发布了两份关于国家的报告， LGBT健康，这两者都需要更有针对性的研究，旨在了解来源， 这些健康差距的后果，特别是在老年LGBT成年人中。国民代表 对老年男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者的研究将允许从事不结盟运动委员会建议的工作类型。目的 LGBT老龄化项目（SAMPEST）的抽样策略和测量发展是 开发和评估一个平台和一个过程，以允许执行未来的，单独资助的 国家基于概率的老龄化纵向研究在老年LGBT人口（全国LGBT老龄化 项目（NATIONAL））。我们的具体目标是：（1）制定和实施一项战略， LGBT老年人的概率样本;（2）比较和评估筛查的有效性 策略和所得样品的质量，使用随机实验的结果作为 （3）确定和制定适当的社会关系和经验的调查措施 用于未来的国家LGBT老龄化项目（NIGHTs），并通过300个后续访谈来管理这些项目， 确定至少有一名LGBT老年人的家庭;以及，（4）进行对照随机 采用序贯自适应设计，对家庭访谈与远程访谈进行现场测试 这将允许一个强大的比较响应率，差分无响应偏差，和成本。的产物 这项工作将是一个抽样方法，筛选过程，一套措施，和现场方法优化 在适当的情况下，通过随机实验，专门进行有史以来第一次美国国家研究， LGBT老年人使用基于地址的概率样本，具有高响应率（NCI）， 根据本申请的结果另行提交。若虫将允许推断的人口 LGBT个人以及涉及至少一名LGBT个人的伴侣关系人口;它将回答 关于LGBT个人的关键健康和政策问题，以及加强我们的研究方法 并了解所有美国人的健康和老龄化问题。
