UW School of Medicine Research Opportunity

As is often the case I come across information to pass onto the community.  As with all things, make sure that you feel comfortable with each project that you agree to participate in.  It is a good thing that we have the opportunity to each have a voice and to be able to choose when to use it.  I am also happy to field any information about your experiences to pass onto others.   Ms T.


WHAT ARE WE DOING?  Developing ways to include the experiences of older adults and people of color within the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender community in research on end-of-life care.
● WHO SHOULD RESPOND?
LGBT adults
LGBT people of color
LGBT adults age 50 and older
You do not need to have a critical care experience in order to help.

● WHAT WILL YOU DO? Participate in a focus group to talk about the best ways to reach out to older adults and people of color within the LGBT community. The focus group will take 1-2 hours.

● WHO ARE WE? Researchers at the UW School of Medicine End-of-Life Care Research Program. We are interested in improving the care provided to LGBT patients and their partners.

Please call our study group at 206-744-9518 if you would like more information or to be scheduled to a focus group.
Feel free to pass this information along to anyone you think might be interested.
