Dolan (psychology and sociology, North Georgia College and State U., Dahlonega) used a survey, in-depth interviews, and focus groups to investigate lesbian women's perception of their risk from sexually transmitted diseases. She reports on issues of identity and action, constructions of risk and protection, and risk and protection. The findings could interest academics, sexually active lesbians, and people designing and running health or educational programs. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
