    Bisexual women experience disproportionately poorer health outcomes in comparison to lesbian and gay groups, and the general population, including inequities related to mental and physical health.

    Randi B Singer, Natasha Crooks et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2022Cited by: 2References: 10

  • The Measurement of Female Early Adolescent Sexual Desire

    Anne E Norris, Ariel Smith et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2021References: 11

    We used the developmental systems model to deduce a definition of female early adolescent sexual desire. We evaluated a measure of this phenomenon with a secondary analysis of data from a randomized group sexual health intervention trial involving low-income, English-speaking, seventh grade Latinas enrolled in a Miami-Dade County public school ( n = 542). As part of this study, girls completed a four-item early adolescent sexual desire (EASD) mea…
