Research Methods with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Populations

This essential book provides you with an in-depth look at what works—and what doesn't—in research with GLBT populations. It examines the usefulness of the current framework for research with GLBT populations and highlights the necessity for greater complexity in the design of research with these populations. It will help you understand the need for more inclusive and representative samples and the need to protect the privacy of GLBT research participants-and ways to accomplish these goals. In addition, Research Methods with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Populations considers the advantages and limitations of having an “inside” perspective when conducting research with these populations and explores the myriad ways in which this research can be used.
