CeMCOR

Note: date has been changed to January 9, 2009 

Free webinar by the Women's Health Research Network featuring Dr. Jerilynn Prior and others. This webinar is an extension of CeMCOR's recent Scientific Cafe on the same topic: "Are Lesbians Healthier than Straight Women? Why or why not?"

This discussion will touch upon the physical and mental health of lesbians versus straight women. Do lesbians have higher risk factors for certain conditions (e.g. insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome)? To what extent are these factors modifiable? Do lifestyle differences in lesbian and straight women account for any differences in health outcomes? Do health care practitioners treat patients they know to be lesbians differently (e.g. not recommending pap smears)?
