Beyond Alphabet Soup: Helping College Health Professionals Understand Sexual Fluidity
Oswalt, Sara B.; Evans, Samantha; Drott, Andrea
Journal of American College Health, v64 n6 p502-508 2016
Many college students today are no longer using the terms straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender to self-identify their sexual orientation or gender identity. This commentary explores research related to fluidity of sexual identities, emerging sexual identities used by college students, and how these identities interact with the health and well-being of the student. Additionally, the authors discuss strategies to help college health professionals provide a sensitive environment and clinical experience for students whose sexual identity is fluid.
