Suicide and Sexual Orientation: A Critical Summary of Recent Research and Directions for Future Research.
Muehrer, Peter
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v25 suppl p72-81 1995
Research on the hypothesized relationship between sexual orientation and suicide is limited. National or statewide data on frequency and causes of completed suicide in gay and lesbian people do not exist. Methodological limitations in research literature include lack of consensus on definition of key terms, nonrepresentative samples, and lack of appropriate controls. (JBJ)
