Reviews
This 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.
As the first textbook of its kind focused on research methods in LGBTQ health, LGBTQ Health Research: Theory, Methods, Practice represents a milestone in the field's development... This volume will be a particularly valuable resource for students and postdoctoral trainees in LGBTQ health training programs as well as trainees and professionals in other health programs who wish to employ their training and expertise to address LGBTQ health disparities.
All props for this ground-breaking accomplishment in public health for all LGBTQ people and those who care for us and with us.
Offering a holistic approach to the consideration of LGBTQ health disparities, this book functions as a guide for scholars interested in conducting their own research. Its generational heuristic is a unique and helpful orientation to research that has already occurred and to the need to develop future scientific knowledge.
This book would be particularly helpful in graduate courses that include the study of sexual and gender minorities and health.
