Review: A great resource guide on the subject matter - Succinct, well-indexed and it is very helpful as a reference in doing research and writing my dissertation. Review: This guide provides great sources, research - This guide provides great sources, research, studies, and recommendations for LGBT health. The book primarily focuses on physicians making their offices more LGBT friendly and knowing LGBT health disparities. I felt the substance usage, mental health, and other chapter repetitive, but good guide overall.
