Abstract
This study explored nursing home social services directors' interest in receiving training related to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Nationally representative data from the National Nursing Home Social Services Directors Survey of 2019 were used. Two-thirds of respondents reported moderate or strong interest in discrimination training. The subgroup most interested in this training topic were nonwhite, social work-educated men, not residing in the Midwest. While most (65%) respondents expressed moderate or strong interest in training, 35% of respondents reported little to no interest in training. Recommendations to serve LGBTQ+ nursing home residents are discussed, and resources are provided.
