Lack of culturally competent services emerged in a community needs assessment as a concern among LGBTIA older adults (Winberry, 2023). To address this, we conducted an LGBTIA older adult cultural competency training focused on preparing healthcare and other service providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the needs of this population. Using paired sample t-tests, we examined how the training impacted ageist attitudes and LGBTIA clinical competency among participants (n = 43) . The training reduced ageist attitudes among participants, t(33) = -3.94, p \u003C  \n.001 with a moderate effect size (d = .47; Cohen, 1988) . We also found that the training improved self-perceived clinical competency for working with LGBTQ+ individuals among participants, t(37) = 7.64, p \u003C .001 with a moderate effect size (d = .58; Cohen, 1988). We found similar results for clinical preparedness, t(39)= 2.57, p = .014 with a moderate effect size (d = .53; Cohen, 1988); attitudes toward LGBTIA individuals, t(39) = 2.57, p =.014 with a small effect size (d = .22; Cohen, 1988); and knowledge about LGBTIA individuals, t(39) = 2.57, p = .014 with a moderate effect size, (d = .44; Cohen, 1988) . Implications for interdisciplinary trainings focused on LGBTIA older adults will be discussed.","cbCaiuBNgbGbtcB7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuBNgbGbtcB7","pdf",979519,"English","# Abstract\n## Background and Need\n## Training Intervention\n## Outcomes and Statistical Findings\n## Implications","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the training target?\",\"answer\":\"The training targets culturally incompetent services for LGBTIA older adults, which contributes to health disparities and unmet health needs.
