LGBTQ+ older Oregonians are at heightened risks of economic disadvantages, social disconnectedness, and health disparities, yet most display resilience.

Oregon is experiencing steady growth among the older adult population, with increasing diversity.

The Oregon LGBTQ+ Older Adult Survey is the first statewide community needs assessment of LGBTQ+ older adults in Oregon. Our discoveries are available for planning, program development, community education, and advocacy to address service and health needs and strengthen LGBTQ+ older adults in Oregon. Commissioned by the ODHS Office of Aging and People with Disabilities (166896: Fredriksen-Goldsen, PI).

The report is available in other languages, large print, braille or a format you prefer. Please contact the Oregon Department of Human Services Office of Aging and People with Disabilities at SUA.Email@dhsoha.state.or.us or 503-945-5600. All relay calls are accepted, or you can dial 711.
