Little attention has been paid to methodological issues in conducting research on older lesbians. Investigators who have conducted research in minority communities have also discussed this problem. In this article the author integrates these two bodies of literature. In addition, the author suggests that to address these concerns, future research on older lesbians should identify and examine older lesbians of color and should be designed so that the methodology is participatory in nature, places both the respondent and researcher on equal footing, is flexible so that it can adapt to existing group norms, and can be integrated into other research methods
