Special Issue on
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Health
People
who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender are diverse, coming from various
races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. They sometimes face unique
health care risks besides the usual ones that affect most men and women. They
are at the higher risk of depression, substance abuse, breast cancer, HIV and
other sexually transmitted infections. Further research is needed to fully
evaluate the health care issues facing this population.
In this
special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit
original research and review articles on exploring Gay,
Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Health. Potential topics include, but are not limited
to:
-
Depression and suicide
-
Mental healthcare
-
Physical healthcare
-
Sex reassignment surgery
-
HIV among gay and bisexual men
-
Health issues for lesbians
-
Substance misuse
Authors
should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please
kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The
research field “Special Issue - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
Health” should be selected during your submission.
