Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"There is a dearth of information with regard to this topic-particularly in terms of a comprehensive review where all of the most important and interesting information could be in one volume; therefore, this book does fill an important gap in the literature. I would definitely recommend moving forward with this book project."--Daniel Gentry, Ph.D., M.H.A., Associate Professor of Health Management and Policy Dept. of Health Management and Policy, St. Louis University
"[T]his compilation and review is both helpful and timely. The book is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as established researchers and public health practitioners...[and] provides good coverage of the primary health issues and subpopulations of concern and will serve as a guide and reference on health disparities among gay and bisexual men for researchers and students in a variety of academic disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy makers, for years to come."--Doody's, a 4
