Special Issue on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender

People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender are diverse, coming from various races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. They are a population in need of understanding and support. Regarding the mental and physical well-being, they sometimes face unique issues besides the usual ones that affect most men and women. They are at high rates of attempted and completed suicide, violence victimization, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, and HIV/STI-associated risky behaviors.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. The topics to be covered by this special issue include, but are not limited to:

• Depression and suicide
• Mental health
• Physical health
• 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 notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender” should be chosen during your submission.
