Description
Book SynopsisThe first book focused entirely on the growing field of LGBTQ health research, this volume provides the necessary public health tools to teach about and study LGBTQ populations effectively. Over the last 30 years, the health needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Americans have become increasingly recognized, in particular for the ways in which they are distinct from those typically assessed and addressed in society. Universities and researchers are paying greater attention to LGBTQ public health issues and how they might adapt existing methods to research marginalized communities, butuntil nowthere has been no authoritative resource to guide their education or practice. Developed for graduate students in public health and health sciencesbut perfect for anyone interested in this topicthis book will fill that gap and provide the necessary public health tools to teach about and study LGBTQ populations effectively. Divided into three sections and edited by top scholars,
Trade ReviewThis rich volume marks a critical moment in the field of LGBTQ health research. It provides a vital tool for the training of future generations of researchers.
