The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if using physical activity (PA) mentors has any additional impact on daily steps of older adults participating in the Maine in Motion (MIM) program in the primary care setting. Participants were randomly assigned to a MIM-only group (n= 14) or a MIM+ mentor group (n= 14). The MIM intervention lasted 6 months with follow-up at 12 months. Average age of participants was 64 ± 8.8 years and most participants had multiple chronic illnesses. At baseline, mean body mass index (BMI) was 32.2 ± 5.1 and average daily steps were 4,236 ± 2,266. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant main effects for steps,F(2.324, 59.104) = 4.168,p= .015, but no main effects for group,F(1, 25) = 2.988,p= .096, or time-by-group interaction,F(2.324, 59.104) = 0.905,p= .151. All participants significantly increased daily steps over the course of the intervention, with MIM+ participants maintaining increases at follow-up. No significant findings were found for BMI.

Objectives: Conduct a systematic review designed to determine needs and experiences of LGBTQ adolescents in the pediatric primary care setting and to the ability of primary care practitioners to provide the most inclusive care to LGBTQ adolescents. Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase searches using the following keywords: LGBTQ, Adolescents, Pediatrics, Sexual-Minority, Gender-Identity, and primary care, to identify peer-reviewed publications from 1998 to 2017 that focused on stigma in the healthcare setting related to LGBTQ youth and the knowledge of healthcare providers on enhancing care for their sexual and gender minority patients. Article inclusion criteria include: primary research studies conducted in a pediatric primary care describing LGBTQ patients, pediatric patients as described by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and written in the English language. Articles were excluded if they used inaccurate definitions for LGBTQ identity, inappropriate patient ages outside of those defined by the AAP, and studies not in a pediatric primary care setting. Results: Four articles were identified for the review. Of the included articles, the majority of LGBTQ adolescents experience stigma in the healthcare setting. A limited number of physicians providing care to LGBTQ adolescents felt equipped to care for their sexual-minority patients due to lack of education and resources. Conclusions: The education of physicians should include a more detailed approach to providing care to the LGBTQ population, particularly to those training to become pediatricians. A standard guide to treating LGBTQ adolescents could eliminate stigma in the healthcare setting.
