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，同性恋，双性恋和变性者（LGBT）人口的规模估计在9至11之间 百万（3.5–4.5％）。 LGBT人群的健康状况较差 同行在许多维度上。尽管我们对年长的LGBT成年人的了解少，但它们具有特别的兴趣 慢性疾病和疾病随着年龄和差异而增加 成年人处于危险中。美国国家医学院（NAM）发表了两份有关状态的报告 LGBT Health都要求进行更多针对性的研究，以了解来源和 这些健康差异的后果，特别是在老年LGBT成年人中。代表国民 对年长的LGBT成年人的研究将允许NAM委员会推荐的工作类型。目的 当前的采样策略和LGBT老化项目（SAMLAP）的衡量开发是 开发和评估平台和一个过程，该平台将允许执行未来，分别资助 基于国家概率的纵向研究，老年LGBT人群（国家LGBT衰老 项目（NLAP））。我们的具体目的是：（1）制定和实施一项策略来识别和招募 LGBT老年人的概率样本； （2）比较和评估筛选的有效性 使用随机实验的结果作为策略和结果样本的质量 合适的; （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老化项目（NLAP），并通过300个后续采访管理这些 被确定为至少一个LGBT老年人的家庭； （4）进行受控的随机 使用顺序的自适应设计，用于后续访谈的内部与远程访谈的现场测试 这将允许对响应率，差异无响应偏差和成本进行良好的比较。产品的产物 这项工作将是一种抽样方法，筛选过程，一组度量和现场方法 - 优化 通过随机实验适当的地方 - 旨在进行美国有史以来的首次国家研究 LGBT老年人使用基于地址的概率样本具有高响应率（NLAP），为 根据本应用程序的结果单独提交。 NLAP将允许推断 LGBT个人以及至少一个LGBT个人的合作伙伴关系；它将回答 有关LGBT个人的关键健康和政策问题，并增强了我们的研究方法 了解问题涉及所有美国人的健康和衰老。
