Abstract
The genesis of this journal began approximately eleven years ago, when a colleague (who was then a graduate student) took a "readings" course with me to review the existing literature on the risk for sexually transmitted infections. The focus of that course was to offer critiques of the study design and validity of findings from extant studies. As part of our review of the literature, we found that there were very few studies on lesbian and bisexual women and those studies utilized convenience samples of women drawn from very limited venues, including social organizations and women-only festivals. At the time, most study designs among sexual minority women were surveys and not designed specifically to provide details on the behavioral or social etiology on the risk of acquiring sexual infections.
