Below are
papers on lesbian and bisexual women's health and mental health. Some
represent results from surveys that we collected. We hope you see how
important your participation is and that you can make a difference by your
participation. The greater the numbers of lesbian and bisexual women who
participate the louder your voices are in helping contribute to changes in
health care practices. The
papers can be downloaded for viewing in PDF 
format by clicking the "[download paper]" link below the paper you wish to
view. When you print the articles, they will appear actual size on the
page. To print a full 8 1/2 x 11 page, check the "expand small pages
