Discrimination a barrier to advance care planning for sexual, gender minorities, study finds

Experiences of discrimination in healthcare leave some sexual and gender minority (SMG) adults in doubt that their preferences will be considered in end-of-life care, a new study finds.  Investigators surveyed 201 SGM and 402 non-SGM adults, and conducted qualitative interviews with a subset of the SGM group. A validated measure, the Advance Care Planning (ACP) Engagement Survey, was used to capture experiences of discrimination.
