Special Issue on 

LGBT Community and 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 LGBT Community and 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 - LGBT Community and Health” should be selected during your submission.
