Summary

"Recent years have seen a flood of high quality research related to the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals and families. The GLMA Handbook on LGBT Health is the first comprehensive resource to gather that knowledge in one place in the service of vital information needs. Both accurate and easy to understand, the two-volume handbook addresses physical, mental and emotional health, as well as policy decisions affecting the LGBT community from youth through old age. Volume One is deovted to overall health of the population and preventive care, while Volume Two examines disease management."--Publisher's description
