Ellingson, Lyndall
Health Education Monograph Series, v19 n1 p40-46 2002
Reviews research on lesbian health risks and behavior, noting methodological difficulties, and focusing on health risks (alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and sexually transmitted infections) and health care (early detection behavior and barriers to preventive care). Overall, there are behavioral, perceptual, and experiential differences between lesbian and heterosexual women, and the differences suggest increased health risks for lesbians. (SM)
