Description	Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults have largely been an invisible population, although they are now emerging from the shadows. The model is a logical progression in LGBT health research; it provides an actionable framework that moves beyond documenting factors associated with LGBT health disparities by highlighting key leverage points for intervention and prevention efforts. The steps for policy, services, and research are outlined to address the growing needs of LGBT older adults and their families. The chapter founds that approximately three-fourths of LGBT older adult participants report good or excellent health in Caring and Aging with Pride. It found that internalized stigma is linked to poor physical and mental health outcomes among LGBT older adults. When examining differences in health behaviors among LGBT older adults by age group, we see trends similar to the general population.
