We used surveys to collect data about healthcare needs and concerns during five social events held in a gay-friendly coffee shop over a six-month period. During the events, we invited providers to share essential health information on topics such as mental health, caregiving, and legal aid, to promote health literacy and to provide social connection. Fifty-three people over the age of 50 filled out the survey of likert scale and open-ended questions about their healthcare experiences. Forty-six percent of participants stated that they did not know where to find culturally supportive healthcare. One key theme was the difficulty participants identified in assessing whether providers were willing to provide services to LGBTIA+ people. On the other hand, participants identified a strong sense of connection with others in the LGBTIA+ community. Ninety percent said that they were linked with other LGBTIA+ people, and 100% indicated that they were actively involved in assisting others with their needs. Eighty-four percent said they also turned to their community for help. Participants seemed to value the opportunity to meet with others and the focus on their health and emotional well-being. Social groups that focus on health literacy and provide social outlets are using sustainable strategies for enhancing social connection and health information to bolster the LGBTQIA+ community and a sense of belonging.","cbCaikBlYBvbLwWg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikBlYBvbLwWg","pdf",641419,"English","# Study Aim and Context\n## Survey Design and Community Events\n## Key Findings and Participant Themes\n## Implications for Health Literacy and Social Connection","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the research address for older LGBTQIA+ people?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses health-related concerns and missing information in older LGBTQIA+ adults, where historic discrimination and stigma make culturally responsive healthcare uncertain.\"},{\"question\":\"How was data collected and what happened during the events?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected using surveys during five social events over six months at a gay-friendly coffee shop.
